Dear Esteemed Investors,

On behalf of the Royal Government of Cambodia and the Council for the Development of Cambodia, I am honored to extend a warm welcome to all investors considering Cambodia as your next business destination. Under the leadership of Samdech Moha Borvor Thipadei Hun Manet, the Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Cambodia, the country has continued on a path of stable economic growth, institutional reform, and a forward-looking vision for sustainable and inclusive development. Our commitment to an open economy and private sector-led growth has helped position Cambodia as one of the most liberal investment regimes in the region—with full foreign ownership allowed in almost all sectors and competitive incentives under the Law on Investment of the Kingdom of Cambodia.

Notably, under the strategic guidance of H.E. Mr. Sun Chanthol, Deputy Prime Minister, First Vice-Chairman of the CDC, proactive knock-door investment promotion missions overseas and high-level public-private dialogues with key international business communities have significantly strengthened investor confidence. These initiatives have contributed to a record increase in investment approvals in 2024, further underscoring Cambodia’s growing profile as an ideal investment destination in the region.

In a world full of uncertainties and rapidly shifting geopolitical dynamics, Cambodia remains a reliable and increasingly attractive destination for investment. Our strategic location, preferential trade access, a young and dexterous workforce, and growing infrastructure network make Cambodia well-positioned within regional supply chains. Cambodia also stands out among its peers for its commitment to sustainability—holding one of the region’s highest shares of renewable energy in its power mix. We are actively promoting a green transition, alongside efforts to modernize infrastructure and support the development of a digital and skill-driven economy.

Key to our industrial strategy is the expansion of the special economic zones and industrial clusters, which offer ready-built infrastructure, simplified administrative procedures, and proximity to major transport and logistics hubs. These zones are enabling the growth of high-tech and capital-intensive industries, fostering industrial innovation and skill transfer, while also strengthening supply chain linkages with neighboring countries and beyond. Today, leading multinational corporations across diverse sectors—from advance manufacturing, automotive, electronics, agribusiness to hospitality and retail—have chosen Cambodia as part of their regional growth strategy. Their continued expansion and success stand as strong testament reflecting the country’s long-term potential.

At the Cambodian Investment Board (CIB) of the CDC, we are proud to serve as a dedicated one-stop service mechanism, delivering exceptional services to all investors through our “Triple-S” approach:

• Secure a favorable condition for investment
• Simplify procedures for setting up and expansion
• Support and facilitate all stages of investment journey.

Finally, I invite you to come and explore Cambodia. My goal is to make sure you can invest and grow with confidence in Cambodia, where your business success could also inspire others and contribute to the long-term prosperity of Cambodians for generations to come.
