(Phnom Penh): Sun Chanthol, First Vice Chairman of the Council for the Development of Cambodia (CDC), announced that Cambodia's positive investment momentum continues to flourish. In the first four months of 2026, the CDC approved 184 investment projects totaling over USD 2.6 billion.

Speaking at the opening of the Cambodia Investment Forum 2026 on May 7, Chanthol said the country’s investment climate remains robust alongside the resilience of the national economy.

He noted that in 2025, the CDC approved a record 630 investment projects valued at nearly USD 10 billion, marking an increase of more than 40 percent compared to the previous year.

Chanthol also highlighted the growing importance of Cambodia’s Special Economic Zones (SEZs) in driving industrial diversification and attracting higher-value investment.

Beyond traditional garment, footwear, and travel goods industries, SEZ investment is increasingly expanding into automobile assembly, automotive parts, electronics, electrical equipment, furniture, and decorative products. Cambodia currently has 35 operational SEZs nationwide.
