Meas Liratnak, a former investment manager at firm FUGI Gold, estimated that about 20 brokerage firms have set up in Cambodia since the mid-2000s.

Foundations, think tanks and blue ribbon commissions regularly call for institutional renovation. Secretary Generals trumpet their reform initiatives. UN Finance. The United Nations and all its agencies and funds spend about $30 billion each year, or about $4 for each of the world's inhabitants.
This is a very small sum compared to most government budgets and it is less than three percent of the world's military spending. Yet for nearly two decades, the UN has faced financial difficulties and it has been forced to cut back on important programs in all areas, even as new mandates have arisen.
