The Royal Government of Cambodia adopted the Financial Sector Blueprint for 2001-2010 in a plenary session of the Cabinet meeting chaired by the Prime Minister on 24 August 2001. It was the Government's ground-breaking initiative for financial sector development. The Blueprint has been developed with the assistance of ADB's Cambodia financial sector team.

The Blueprint

• sets out a long-term vision and development strategy for the financial sector over the next ten years.
• aims to develop a sound market-based financial system to support resource mobilization and broad-based sustainable economic growth.
• anticipates that the financial sector will at least double in terms of the ratio of financial assets to gross domestic product in 10 years, and the spread between loan and deposit rates will narrow as intermediation becomes more efficient.

To achieve the vision, the Blueprint specifies ten principles as the Government's long-term strategy for financial sector development.

Under the guidance of the long-term strategy, the Blueprint details sector development strategy and policy reform agenda. The sector development strategy is a rolling plan, which needs continuous updating to reflect the Government's achievements, as well as the changing socioeconomic environment.
