The Cambodian central bank predicted that Cambodia's economic growth will be maintained at 7 percent with an inflation rate of 2.3 percent in 2020, adding that this is based on the projection of the global economy recovery, which will contribute to a favourable climate for exports, FDI and tourism sector.
