Major BEE Impacts of the Cambodia G-PSF
• Reduction in trade facilitation fees and procedures • Improved labor regulations to encourage night shifts• Reduction in bank licensing procedures and prudential
regulations• PS inputs to several laws and regulations: tourism law,
ADR, Telecoms law, customs law, Financial Blueprint
• A major achievement of the PPDs is the dialogue in and of itself
• PPD reforms have generated measurable savings for the private sector :– 70 millions savings for the PS (Sample of 15 reforms)– ROI of $105 per dollar spent
