Bridging the Finance Gap in Housing and Infrastructure

After many years of civil war and almost unspeakable troubles, Phnom Penh is getting back on its feet. Phnom Penh is Cambodia’s main urban center at the moment. The city is filled with the noisy energy of building, trading, and growth. For those with nerve and resources, the city offers many opportunities to make money and almost no rules.

Its economy is wide open and freewheeling enough to make the city a magnet for investment from around Asia and elsewhere. It also draws an increasing number of migrants from the provinces – most of them poor – who come looking for work in the city, which after decades of upheaval is on the brink of a boom, and is ready for the cheap labor that growth depends on.
