CDC kicks off 2026 with $67M investment boost, 3,000 new jobs projected

The Council for the Development of Cambodia (CDC) reviewed applications for nine qualified investment projects totalling around $67 million at the first One-Window-Service meeting of 2026.

 

The meeting was organised yesterday by the CDC’s Cambodian Investment Board (CIB) and chaired by Secretary General Chea Vuthy.

The meeting brought together representatives from relevant ministries and institutions, as well as provincial and capital administrations, to jointly evaluate the proposed projects under the government’s streamlined investment approval process.

According to the CDC, the nine projects are expected to create around 3,000 jobs and cover a diverse range of industrial activities.

“The Government is committed to maintaining the fundamentals to ensure the success of long-term investment by preserving peace, political and economic stability, and by continuously improving the business and investment environment,” Chea Vuthy said.

The One-Window-Service mechanism is designed to reduce administrative barriers by allowing all relevant authorities to review investment proposals in a single forum, thereby speeding up approvals and enhancing transparency for investors.
