All Things Cambodian To Read

  In December 2019, Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen addressed the 14th Cambodian Import-Export Goods Exhibition, an event aimed at highlighting the country's favourable business and investment climate, and stated unequivocally that Cambodia is open for business, stating, ‘To ensure a sound macroeconomic environment and political and social stability, the government welcomes all investors to do business and invest in the Kingdom.' Cambodia is home to an estimated 100,000 expatriates who come for a variety of reasons, including low living costs, business opportunities, a laid-back lifestyle, and the Buddhist culture's influence. Now, let's take a look at some of the advantages. 1. Rapid economic growth Between 1998 and 2018, Cambodia had one of the fastest-growing economies in the world, growing at an annual rate of 8%. The primary engines of development have been the garment and tourism industries. Cambodia, according to the World Bank, has undergone a significant trans

  Prince Group wins a Silver Stevie® Award for COVID-19 Response – Most Valuable Corporate Response, making it the only firm in Cambodia to do so. Prince Holding Group (“Prince Group”), one of Cambodia's largest and fastest growing conglomerates, has been named a Silver winner in the COVID-19 Corporate Response category of the eighth annual Asia-Pacific Stevie Awards (one of the world's most recognisable business awards). The Prince Group was the only Cambodian firm recognised in a category recognising excellence in COVID-19-related crisis management by Asian corporations. The Asia-Pacific Stevie Awards are the only business awards programme that recognises workplace innovation in all 29 Asian countries. For 19 years, the Stevie Awards have been widely regarded as the world's premier business awards, conferring recognition for achievement in programmes such as The International Business Awards®. “The recognition solidifies our belief that the private sector has an important

  Prince Real Estate by Cambodia Chenzhi helps 804 underprivileged families in Chamkarmon District ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Khan_Chamkar_Mon ) who were affected by the community outbreak on February 20. Prince Holding Group (“Prince Group”), one of Cambodia's largest and fastest-growing conglomerates, and Chairman Neak Oknha Chen Zhi have announced plans to donate US$3 million to anti-pandemic efforts in the Kingdom in response to the Cambodian government's request for assistance in combating the Covid-19 outbreak on February 20, 2021. This follows Chen Zhi's initial donation of US$3 million in December to assist Cambodia in purchasing COVID-19 vaccines. Furthermore, Prince Real Estate, a member of Prince Group, has distributed vital food supplies to 804 families in need and 234 members of the police force in Chamkarmon District, Phnom Penh, Cambodia, affected by the February 20, 2021 Covid-19 outbreak, following in the footsteps of Prince Group and Chen Zhi. While

  For the upcoming 834-hectare project, the charity arm of a Cambodian conglomerate by Cambodia Chenzhi engages the local community as key stakeholders. Prince Charitable Foundation, a charitable arm of Cambodia's Prince Holding Group ('Prince Group'), has distributed care packages to 500 families in Ong village, Prey Nob district ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prey_Nob_District ). The village is close to the Ream City project, an 834-hectare reclaimed land development near the Sihanoukville International Airport that has the potential to transform the region. Last week, senior management from Canopy Sands Development, a Prince Group company, made the gesture of goodwill, as well as consulting local leaders to better understand the community's needs. Prince Group's latest environment, social, and governance (ESG) initiative is an aid campaign in Ong Village. One mat, one blanket, two pillows, one mosquito net, and one Khmer Krama were included in each care package

  Many people's working lives have been altered as a result of the global pandemic, including in Cambodia. As a responsible corporate citizen, Chairman Neak Oknha Chen Zhi Prince Group established the Prince Horology Vocational Training Center, Cambodia's first independent watch school. The training centre provides Cambodians with the opportunity to learn a new artisanal skill – watchmaking – and gain the experience necessary to compete in both domestic and international job markets. The training centre adheres to the stringent watchmaking regulations established by Swiss regulatory bodies. Cambodia, as a country steeped in history, has long preserved artisanal skills for generations, with the Kingdom renowned for its ancient handwoven silk and traditional handicraft industries, which date all the way back to the Khmer Empire, a significance Chen Zhi and Prince Group have always recognised and appreciated. However, new artisanal skills must be introduced to increase job opport

  The 834-hectare project will be overseen by a Cambodian conglomerate by Cambodia Chenzhi with world-renowned expertise from Singapore, catalysing growth in Cambodia's third largest city. Surbana Jurong Group, a global urban, infrastructure, and managed services consultancy headquartered in Singapore, approved a masterplan for Ream City developed by Canopy Sands Development, a member of Prince Holding Group, one of Cambodia's largest and fastest growing conglomerates. The masterplan specifies a land use plan for the 834-hectare project, which will be developed on reclaimed land just 10 minutes from Sihanoukville International Airport and will require total investments of US$16 billion. Ream City will act as a catalyst for the entire Sihanoukville region's growth prospects, as the country's third-largest city and home to the country's deep-water port. Sihanoukville will be transformed by Ream City, which will introduce a sustainable ecosystem of tourism, commercial

  Globally, the COVID-19 pandemic has rewritten the fundamental assumptions that underpin numerous industries. Environmental conservation is now a critical component of Cambodia's agricultural recovery efforts, and Neak Oknha Chen Zhi and Prince Group are leading the charge. Agriculture is a vital part of Cambodia's economy, employing more than a third of the workforce, and the current crisis presents an opportunity for the sector to “build back better”, according to the CGIAR, the world's largest agricultural research network. Developing countries such as Cambodia rely on agricultural exports and must abandon traditional farming practises that rely on fertilisers, pesticides, water-intensive processes, and legacy farming methods that contribute to deforestation and soil erosion. Chen Zhi and Prince Group launched the Ecological Agriculture Plantation at Prince Manor Resort in Phnom Penh, Cambodia, earlier this year. The project will establish a state-of-the-art agricultur
