This week Equity Weekly looks at the progress of the Cambodian stock exchange. The stock exchange is the place where the shares of companies can be bought and sold, but companies are only eligible to list on stock exchange if they fulfill certain requirements related to competition, transparency and financial reporting. We reveal how many companies are in the process of registering for Cambodian Security Exchange, as well as the overall benefits of the stock exchange to Cambodian Economy. We also look at who can buy shares on the stock market and what information buyers should know before making decisions about buying shares.

2011 is the first year Cambodia will collect an immovable property tax, and the process is currently underway. The purpose of tax collection is to generate revenue for local development including infrastructure. The original deadline for tax collection was at the end of September, however this deadline has been extended twice due to the 31st December 2011. We examine how much people understand about the process of tax collection and what relevant authorities can do to better facilitate tax payment.
In Cambodia there are almost 1 million people aged 65 and older. This number is gradually increasing every year. Elderly people, especially the homeless, face health problems, food shortages sometimes due to lack of care from their families. The Government, as well as some NGOs and associations, has been working to support elderly people in such situations. Equity Weekly investigates their activities and asks if they are enough to meet to the needs of Cambodia’s elderly?
