9 Financing Needs RGC s agenda for Infrastructure Development (RS IV) Approving and implementing the Master Plan for Mutimodal of Transport and Logistics to accelerate integration by linking key economic poles and major economic corridors to be more competitive in the region and the world. Increasing investment budget and mobilizing financing to rehabilitate, build and develop physical infrastructure, including roads and expressways, bridges, railways, waterways, and airways to respond to the demand of national development in terms of quantity, quality, safety and sustainability aspects along with the improvement in inter institutional coordination mechanism.
10 Financing Needs Financing Infrastructure Up to late 2017, Cambodia has built a total of 16,292 km of the national and provincial roads, of which 8,526 km are made of bituminous asphalt and concrete pavements, or an equivalent to % of the total length. In addition, the RGC has upgraded other physical infrastructure to support national economic activities through the improvement and development of infrastructures such as rural roads, ports, railways, airways and other urban infrastructure.
11 Financing Needs For logistics, Cambodia s ranking has been remarkably improved from 129 in 2010 to 98 the World Bank's Logistics Performance Index (LPI). For the electricity sector, the RGC has reduced the proportion of electricity imported from neighboring countries from 63.1% in 2011 to 18.6% in 2017 of the total electricity consumption. It has also expanded transmission and distribution networks with the aim of improving the livelihood of the people in general as well as to support industrial and commercial development in industrial zones.
12 Financing Needs In the digital sector, the RGC has promoted the connectivity of backbone fiber optic cables, which have increased to 37,441 km in 2017 along with two undersea optic cable networks in 2017.
13 Financing Needs While access to grid electricity has expanded in Cambodia to 71.5 percent, reliability of electricity supply can be improved, as nearly two thirds of households with access face frequent power shortages Nationwide, nearly 90 percent of Cambodian households have access to at least four hours of electricity a day. Some 30 percent of rural households rely on off grid power for electricity, including solar home systems, solar lanterns, and rechargeable batteries.
14 Financing Needs More than 66 percent of households still use biomass stoves, hence helping families particularly low income and female headed households gain access to clean fuels and stoves would reduce health risks. Total number of people having access to improved sanitation has risen from 3% to 42% between 1990 to 2015
15 Financing Needs Reducing further the electricity rates, expanding supply coverage and enhancing electricity reliability through the construction of additional sub stations closer to economic development poles and areas with high economic potentials. Enhancing digital connectivity by ways of expanding fiber optic cable distribution network infrastructure, backbone fiber optic infrastructure, and undersea fiber optic cables, along with the improvement and modernization of mobile telephone network to ensure quality, cost competitive and nationwide service for all.

25 Challenges and Opportunities in Cambodia Opportunities The regional association has agree on the number of issues for the regional growth and development. Partnership for prosperity and peace Active collaboration and mutual assistance on matters of common interest in the economic, social, cultural, technical, scientific and administrative fields Providing assistance to each other in the form of training and research facilities in the educational, professional, technical and administrative spheres, and the collaboration with more effectiveness for the greater utilization of their agriculture and industries, the expansion of their trade, including the study of the problems of international commodity trade, the improvement of their transportation and communications facilities.
26 Challenges and Opportunities Roles of Development Partners and Bilateral Donors The role of United Nations and ADB could be still supportive for Cambodia, for example, in the areas of infrastructure, policies and human resource development. Road reconstruction financed by Japan for Road No. 1 and 5 would build a stronger economic corridor connecting Thailand and Vietnam The reconstruction of National Road 3 by China s financing through BRI
27 Opportunities and Challenges Belt and road projects could help Cambodia build more infrastructure, especially rails and roads Quality of infrastructure could be one of the concerns SMEs are the back bone of the economy, and the development is this sector would strengthen the private sector
28 Opportunities and Challenges The reduction of ODA, amid the time of payment of the previous debts Tax collection has almost reached the ceiling. The broad base approach should be encouraged. Increase in salaries of government officials would increase the recurrent expenditure and reduce the capital expenditure Loss of preferential treatment such EBAs Tariffs is fragile, upon heavily on taxes on the import of vehicles Dedolarization is continued in far future
29 Conclusion and Recommendations Strong GDI growth, averaging 7 percent would provide Cambodia with opportunity to finance the development needs; There is a falling trends of ODAs and increasing trend of public debts; increase in FDIs and Fiscal Revenues While there is a falling trend in ODA, there is an opportunity to attract bilateral donors, such as Japan and China for infrastructure development as well as the role of development partners, such as World Bank, ADB
30 Conclusion and Recommendations The development of SMEs would promote the private sector growth Building skills and necessary infrastructures to attract FDIs Building a financial system that is sound, efficient, inclusive and marketbased; Promote savings from the public
