Cambodia records massive investment surge in early 2026

Cambodia attracted fixed-asset investment projects valued at $2.5 billion in the first quarter of 2026, according to a press release from the Council for the Development of Cambodia (CDC) yesterday.

 

From January to March, the kingdom approved 146 investment projects, expected to create about 82,000 jobs. Sun Chanthol, Second Vice Chairman of the Council for the Development of Cambodia, noted that these licensed ventures include wind power plants, electric vehicle assembly lines, motorcycle factories, and five-star hotels. China, Malaysia, Singapore, and the United States remain the top foreign investors.

The surge reflects a 10% rise in industrial diversification across the nation’s special economic zones.
