#32: Cambodia: Initial Impressions and Industrial Park Landscape

Cambodia is one of the fastest-growing economies in Southeast
Asia, with a GDP growth rate of 5.2% in 2022. The country has
successfully transformed from a post-conflict nation to a dynamic
market economy, attracting foreign direct investment (FDI) from
various sources and sectors. 


According to a new report by the National Bank of Cambodia, FDI
inflows in Cambodia between mid-1994 and end-2021 amounted to $41
billion, rising by 11.2% from the end of 2020. FDI has been a key
driver of Cambodia’s export diversification and sophistication,
especially in the garment, footwear, electronics, and
agro-processing sectors.


In Part II of the podcast series about the CLMV Sub-region, we
will explore the favorable environment Cambodia is offering
foreign investors who are looking for new opportunities in
Southeast Asia by talking to the experts: 


-          Marko Walde, Chief
Representative of AHKs in Vietnam, Myanmar, Cambodia, and
Laos


-          Michelle Zhao, Manager for
Operation, Phnom Penh Special Economic Zone (SEZ) Ltd. 


Hosted by Trang Dao, Head of Business Development Services,
AHK Vietnam, this episode also includes discussion about
challenges and risks that investors may face, and how they can
overcome them with assistance of reliable partners such as SEZ
and AHK that offer diverse supports for companies’ business
success.
