While noting a slight decrease in the garment and footwear industries, he emphasized the consistent expansion of various sectors, with special emphasis on the entertainment industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Our exports in the first quarter of this year experienced a notable surge, with an increase of $1.2 billion, marking a significant 40 percent growth compared to the same period last year,&#8221; he stated. He further expressed optimism that Cambodia&#8217;s economy is on track to achieve the targeted growth rate of 5.6 percent this year, with the potential to reach 6.6 percent next year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Prime Minister Hun Sen emphasized the steadfast commitment of the Cambodia People&#8217;s Party to maintaining peace, freedom, and development in all sectors of the country. The government&#8217;s continuous endeavors involve generating new employment opportunities on an annual basis, with a minimum goal of 30,000 positions, to ensure gainful employment for the people of Cambodia. Furthermore, starting from August this year, the government will initiate a training program benefiting 1.5 million underprivileged youth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Manhattan Economic Zone&#8217;s Green Transformation:Plan to Build Thousands of Worker Housing Units Annually<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/manhattansez.brandpixel.asia\/wp-content\/uploads\/456.png-2-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6016\" width=\"514\" height=\"341\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.manhattansez.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/456.png-2-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.manhattansez.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/456.png-2-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 514px) 100vw, 514px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>During the event, Mr. Clement Yang, Chairman of the Manhattan Special Economic Zone (MSEZ), presented the &#8220;Manhattan Economic Zone 2.0&#8221; project to Prime Minister Hun Sen.
