Asian Development Bank and Cambodia: Fact Sheet
Asian Development Bank | April 2015
Abstract
The Asian Development Bank (ADB) has been supporting Cambodia since 1966. After 2 decades of conflict and international isolation for Cambodia, the 1991 Paris Peace Agreements reestablished public order and political stability. As of 31 December 2014, Cambodia has received $2.11 billion in ADB
lending, grants, and technical assistance. Cambodia has moved closer to lower middle-income status via resounding economic growth driven by solid performances in garment manufacture, tourism, paddy and milled rice, and construction.
