Phnom Penh (FN), Jul. 14 – Cambodian prime minister Hun Sen said that the Russia-Ukraine war and sanctions created a precarious situation, which can lead to global economic crisis.

The premier said that COVID19 pandemic affected many sectors. Tourism, industry, agriculture and services were seriously affected.

"Currently, new problem has occurred, which might further affect tourism sector. It started from war and sanctions, which created a precarious situation and order," the premier underlined.

Samdech added that sanctions also created global market turmoil. There are many red alerts from the IMF regarding the economic crisis. Global economic growth may continue to decline while inflation may increase.
