Cambodian Cabinet Meeting Approves 3 Important Documents

3 June 2014

Cambodia’s Prime Minister Hun Sen chaired at the Peace Palace a weekly cabinet meeting. Three important documents – the draft law on insurance, the draft national policy on property assessment system, and the draft national strategic development plan 2014-2018 – were discussed and approved on the occasion.

The draft law on insurance is an amendment of the former law on insurance. This 14-chapter of 114-article draft law, elaborated by the Ministry of Economy and Finance, covers all insurance business activities including general insurance, life insurance, and small-scale insurance in Cambodia. It is aimed to ensure sustainable development of the insurance sector, public interests and increase confidence on insurance services, and so on. Cambodia’s insurance sector has seen notable progress. Last year, the total premium revenue of the sector was US$43 million, while the total assets reached US$111 million. This sector employs some 3,500 workers.

For its part, the draft national policy on property assessment system has been compiled by the Ministry of Land Management, Urban Planning and Construction with an aim to orient the implementation of property assessment in response to the country’s social and economic progress.

The draft national strategic development plan 2014-2018 has been drawn up by the Ministry of Planning to boost the economic development, reduce poverty, promote health sector and social development.

To achieve these goals, Cambodia may need at least 109,017 billion Riel or US$26.58 billion (US$5.3 billion a year).
