According to company representatives, Huaxin Cement has invested some US$24 million in the acquisition, which will increase the plant’s working capital to around US$60 million (from US$32 million).
Ouk Bunseng, Deputy Manager of Cambodia Cement, noted that the total cost for the construction of the plant is US$100 million. The company received US$32 million from the shareholders and the Bank of China has funded the remaining US$67 million.
