[PHNOM PENH POST]
Loan and deposits across 31 banks in Cambodia rose 33.5 per cent and
20.4 per cent in 2011 year-on-year, respectively, official data from
the National Bank of Cambodia (NBC) shows.
The data shows the
total amount of loans from all banks reached US$4.07 billion, with the
total number of borrowers 294,533 and depositors numbering 1,266,412.
“The sectors that contributed to this high growth were agriculture,
industry, construction and commercial,” NBC governor Chea Chanto said
during the bank’s annual meeting yesterday.
“These indicators
increased the confidence and support of foreign investors in the
banking ind-ustry, as well as the government’s economic development
policy,” he said.
Across microfinance institutions, loans rose
46 per cent to $644 million and 1,141,913 customers, with deposits
rising $116 million to 242,116 depositors.
