PHNOM PENH, Jan 26: Cambodia cut its bank reserve requirement by four percentage points and ended a restriction on real estate lending on Monday to boost growth in the cooling economy, a national bank official said.
Tal Nay Im, director general of the National Bank of Cambodia, said it had cut the reserve requirement to 12 per cent and eliminated a cap whereby only 15 per cent of a bank’s total loans could be for real estate deals.
International financial organisations expect Cambodia’s economy to grow by less than five per cent this year.—AFP
