The Cambodian economy will rebound by 4 percent this year, according to an Asian Development Bank forecast, depending on how long the current COVID-19 cluster persists.
Experts at the Asian Development Bank said on Wednesday the 4 percent figure was based on statistical inputs and figures as of March 31. This was well before the current COVID-19 outbreak spread which led to significant lockdowns in some parts of the country, including Phnom Penh.
