Foreword

I am pleased to introduce a new edition of CDRI’s

Economic Lexicon

, an English-Khmer and Khmer-English guide to technical terms in economics and related fieldssuch as accounting, banking, finance, and development. CDRI's recent experiencein publishing, and contributing to a range of publications, conferences, seminarsand workshops, has shown that there is a real need for such a resource to assiststakeholders in Cambodia's development to use more standard and easilyunderstood terms in Khmer and English when writing about development issues.Our new 2006-10 Strategic Plan includes a commitment to produce research products that are more flexible and appropriate for Cambodia. This new edition of the Economic Lexicon is an expression of that commitment.

Wherever possible, CDRI's editorialteam makes great efforts to use words that are already in use in official documentsand to refrain from creating new words. This is not always easy as officialdocuments may use different Khmer words to express the same meaning, sochoices have to be made as to what would be the most commonly understood wordor term. Sometimes a new word or term needs to be used for a new concept which
