Cambodia

Cambodia’s economy benefits from a dynamic tourism sector, robust garment exports and a youthful population, with almost 50% of the citizens under the age of 20. Over the past decade, the economy has grown on average by over 5%.

The government actively seeks foreign investment, offering incentives such as reduced corporate tax rates and full foreign ownership of companies. Regional integration through agreements such as ASEAN and the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) serves as an additional catalyst.

Yet, regulatory transparency concerns and systemic corruption impact investor confidence. Furthermore, despite major investments in public infrastructure, limited transport and logistics capacity, along with unreliable energy supply, continue to impose high costs on businesses and consumers. Other weaknesses include extreme weather vulnerability, dependence on imports of energy and goods, and heavy reliance on Chinese financing.
