⚠️ About this data: Figures are from the World Bank's open data API and reflect the latest available annual observations. Tourism arrivals reported by the World Bank lag other sources and stop around 2019-2020 for several countries — we use it here mainly for macro context (GDP, growth, inflation), not as the primary tourism source.

Cambodia — Money & Credit (IMF Monetary & Financial Statistics)

Monetary aggregates are reported monthly by the IMF through the Central Bank and Depository Corporations Surveys. These cover the money-supply and credit dimensions that most global datasets do not report for Cambodia. USD equivalents at ~4,100 riel per US dollar — Cambodia runs a highly dollarized economy, so both views matter.

Key pyramid signals: 29.5% under 15 — a large young workforce entering the travel-consuming years over the next decade; female majority above age 60 (longer life expectancy).

Tourism Receipts (% of total exports)

World Bank data on tourism receipts as a share of exports is available through 2019-2021 for most countries. The World Bank series is not the primary source for Cambodia tourism — see the Sentiment Monitor and Airlift page for fresher tourism-specific data.

Methodology: Macro indicators (GDP, growth, inflation, population, FDI, trade) are pulled monthly from the World Bank open data API (api.worldbank.org). Money & credit aggregates (monetary base, broad money M3, credit to private sector) are pulled monthly from the IMF Monetary & Financial Statistics via the IMF Data Portal (api.imf.org). All figures are annual or monthly observations; the latest values may be estimates. The World Bank's tourism arrivals series is treated as a cross-check only — Cambodia's primary tourism data comes from official and UN Tourism sources.
