With plenty of help from our friends, the Globe team is launching onto the airwaves. In the inaugural episode of our very first podcast we chat with Future Forum president Ou Virak and economist Chheng Kimlong about Covid-19 and the Kingdom.
We’ve been working on this one for a while, and we’re both eager and proud to share it today. Anakut, the Globe’s inaugural podcast, is powered by Konrad Adenauer Stiftung Cambodia and produced with help from audio engineer extraordinaire Jan Mueller. Thankfully, the disease caused by the novel coronavirus has not had any obvious major health impact on Cambodia as it has in other countries. But that doesn’t mean the Kingdom has been left untouched by the ripple effects of the viral disruption. In partnership with the Angkor Research firm, Virak’s Future Forum has been collecting and analysing data that sketches a picture of household incomes through the pandemic era.
So far, Virak said, that picture isn’t looking good. Amidst massive job losses and falling income, he’s most concerned about the possibility of growing food insecurity, a gnawing spectre haunting Cambodia’s most vulnerable families.
