More Chinese Takeover in Sihanoukville

Cambodia news in English! Here you'll find all the breaking news from Cambodia translated into English for our international readership and expat community to read and comment on. The majority of our news stories are gathered from the local Khmer newspapers, but we also bring you newsworthy media from Cambodia before you read them anywhere else. Because of the huge population of the capital city, most articles are from Phnom Penh, but Siem Reap, Sihanoukville, and Kampot often make the headlines as well. We report on all arrests and deaths of foreigners in Cambodia, and the details often come from the Cambodian police or local Khmer journalists. As an ASEAN news outlet, we also publish regional news and events from our neighboring countries. We also share local Khmer news stories that you won't find in English anywhere else. If you're looking for a certain article, you may use our site's search feature to find it quickly.

Could be some defaults on developer backed loans in the event of a downturn.

Sihanoukville is still leading the way when it comes to construction in Cambodia.

1,853 Construction Project Licensed
AKP Phnom Penh, December 19, 2019 --
The government has licensed 1,853 construction projects by 228 domestic and 240 foreign companies.

The update was shared recently by H.E Chea Sophara, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Land Management, Urban Planning and Construction, adding that for 2019 alone the construction sector is worth about US$9.3 billion.

The figure indicates an increase of about 78 percent compared to the previous year, and most construction projects take place at Preah Sihanouk province.

Interesting piece

"Sihanoukville's casino boom has come to a sudden halt. Cambodia’s beach resort of Sihanoukville, which saw a boom in investments in casinos and hotels from China since 2016, is suffering from the fallout of a mass exodus of Chinese after an online gambling ban came into force on January 1 this year. Construction work and casino openings have come to an abrupt halt when Prime Minister HE unexpectedly announced in August last year that Cambodia would criminalise online gambling. Of 72 casinos in the city, so far four have shut down and 23 have laid off..."
