Why Is Housing Becoming So Difficult to Afford in Cambodia?
[Op-Ed] Housing is considered one of the most basic necessities of modern life. However, owning or renting a home is becoming increasingly challenging for many people in Cambodia, particularly those living in Phnom Penh. Although Cambodia has experienced rapid development and economic growth, property prices in some areas have become increasingly difficult for ordinary citizens to afford. The gap between housing prices and household incomes raises important economic questions about supply and demand, income inequality, market failure and resource allocation. It is therefore essential to understand why housing is becoming less affordable and what Cambodia can do to address this problem.
