Cambodian economy grows 5.9 pct in H1
PHNOM PENH, Aug. 4 (Xinhua) -- Cambodia's economy grew 5.9 percent in the first half of 2025, boosted by manufacturing sector, tourism, and agriculture, the National Bank of Cambodia (NBC) said on Monday. The Southeast Asian nation's economy heavily relies on garment, footwear, and travel goods exports, tourism, agriculture, and real estate and construction. The real estate and construction sectors continued to experience sluggish growth during the January-June period this year. "Growth in the first half of this year has not been significantly affected due to the strength of Cambodia's economic base, as the impact of U.S. reciprocal tariffs and Cambodia-Thailand border dispute still has limit," NBC Governor Chea Serey said in a report. "The impact may occur in the second half of 2025," she said. According to the report, the kingdom's inflation stood at 3.5 percent in the first half of this year due to a rise in food prices. However, oil price declined during the period. The report also said that Cambodia's international reserves increased to 24.8 billion U.S. dollars as of June 2025, securing imports of goods and services for the next 7.5 months.

Sarawak waiting for details of tourism zones, says state minister
Sarawak state minister Abdul Karim Rahman Hamzah said the state's tourism strategy was already proven successful, with tourism receipts exceeding RM1 billion every month. (Bernama pic) PETALING JAYA : Sarawak is awaiting clarification from the federal government over special tourism investment zones announced under the 13th Malaysia Plan (13MP), said state minister Abdul Karim Rahman Hamzah. He said Sarawak has not been formally briefed on its implementation in the state, the Dayak Daily reported. 'At the moment, I have to admit that I am quite in the dark myself,' Karim was quoted as saying. Karim, who is the state minister for tourism, creative industry and performing arts, said: 'This has been initiated by the federal government. I'm still trying to understand where exactly these tourism zones are, as far as Sarawak is concerned. 'If the tourism investment zones mentioned include areas like Mulu, Niah, the Kuching Delta, and the Rainforest World Music Festival, then we are indirectly on the same track, it just hasn't been discussed in more detail,' Bernama quoted him as saying. 'We are ready to cooperate. The important thing is that there's no overlap, but rather we mutually strengthen the efforts that are being and will be carried out,' he said. The special tourism investment zones were announced on Thursday by Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim when tabling the 13MP. He said they would be located in Johor, Melaka, Negeri Sembilan and Sarawak. Anwar said the zones would be jointly developed by the state governments and private sector in conjunction with Visit Malaysia 2026. Karim said Sarawak had been actively promoting many of its destinations even without the 'imaginary zoning' that the federal tourism ministry had come up with. 'But for now, we will continue doing what we have been doing all this while.' He said the state's current tourism strategy had already been proven to be successful, with tourism receipts exceeding RM1 billion every month. Sarawak had more or less achieved its target of five million visitors this year, he said.
