Cambodia’s Hun Manet will prioritise economy

Thursday, February 15, 2024

Significance

The Cambodian People’s Party (CPP) -- led by former premier Hun Sen, Hun Manet’s father -- won 120 out of 125 seats in the National Assembly, the lower house, in last July’s general election and all 58 contested seats in the 2018 Senate polls.

Impacts

  • Issues such as corruption and organised crime may hinder efforts to attract foreign investors.
  • Any major oil-price shocks could quickly drive inflationary pressures.
  • Hun Sen will continue to exercise significant influence over policymaking.
