Cambodian per capita GDP to reach 1,200 USD in 2015: PM
Cambodia's per capita GDP (Gross Domestic Product) is forecast to hit 1,200 U.S. dollars in 2015, up from 909 U.S. dollars last year, the Prime Minister Hun Sen said Thursday.
Speaking at a ground-breaking ceremony for a road construction in Banteay Meanchey province, the premier attributed the increase to the country's robust economic growth in the medium term.
Cambodia's economic growth in 2011 was 7.1 percent in equivalent to 13 billion U.S. dollars, showed the reports of the finance ministry.
The country's per capita GDP was 909 U.S. dollars last year, up 9.5 percent from 830 U.S. dollars in 2010, it said.
The Southeast Asian nation's growth is relying on garment exports, tourism, agriculture and construction.
