AKP Phnom Penh, January 19, 2021 --  

The General Departments of Customs and Excise (GDCE) and of Taxation (GDT) have officially launched the data automation system between the two institutions.

Secretary of State for the Ministry of Economy and Finance H.E. Chou Vichith presided over the launch here in Phnom Penh yesterday.

The introduction of the data automation system represented Cambodia’s optimisation of the new technology to strengthen inter-institutional cooperation.

The system will further improve data sharing and updating of growths more accurately, and it is very well aligned with on-going reform by the Royal Government of Cambodia through the Public Financial Management Reform Programme, and the Revenue Mobilisation Strategy 2019-2023.

It will also promote e-Government, particularly to handle the economic fallouts of the COVID-19 crisis in Cambodia.

As part of the rollout, a technical working group has been tasked to grease the inter-institutional cooperation and ensure its effectiveness and transparency.
