| Summary: | Cambodia has made substantial progress
in economic reconstruction since the 1993 elections helped
return peace to the war ravaged country. The report is
organized as: the remainder of chapter one presents the
strategic background, including macroeconomic and fiscal
developments. The chapter concludes with options for
restoring and expanding the government's fiscal space.
Chapter two discusses the level and composition of public
spending. Chapters three, four and five discuss the level,
composition and effectiveness of government spending on
agriculture, health, and education, respectively. The
analysis suggests that government spending in these areas is
lower relative to Gross Domestic Product (GDP) than in
countries with similar levels of income per capita. Chapter
six discusses Cambodia's progress and challenges in
reforming public expenditure policy and public finances. The
chapter underscores the key areas where additional attention
is needed to help advance the reform agenda. |
