According to Mr McNally, 50% of the funding for this mega project will come from the company and 50% from the controlling shareholder.

While citing that the project will keep up with the tourism growth and demand, Mr McNally said that the project also helps attract more investment for the city.

“With the opening of Naga2 in 2017, that is really a transformer of an event, it attracts many high-end players from both around Southeast Asia as well as Macau,” he said, “the mass market continues to grow both from Southeast Asia…there are a lot more business invitations to Phnom Penh”.

“Now it is 2 million-plus and projected to grow to 3 million [Phnom Penh population], so I think our growth is in parallel with the nation, as well as contributing very much to the urban environment of Phnom Penh,” Mr McNally emphasised.
