Cambodia Investment Forum 2026 builds trust and strengthens investor protection mechanisms

The Cambodia Investment Forum 2026 concluded successfully, delivering results that aligned with expectations and reflected the Royal Government’s efforts to enhance the attractiveness and resilience of the business environment, according to a CDC press release issued yesterday.

CDC organised the Cambodia Investment Forum 2026 on May 7 under the theme “Beyond Investment: Strengthening Resilience through Proactive Aftercare and Strategic Partnership”.

The forum ran for a full day under the chairmanship of Sun Chanthol, Deputy Prime Minister and First Vice-Chairman of CDC, with participation from leaders of relevant ministries and institutions, the Cambodia Chamber of Commerce, the Cambodian Oknha Association, international chambers of commerce in Cambodia, and national and international investors.

The forum aimed to strengthen private-sector confidence by introducing solutions to challenges raised by investors in Cambodia.

It also showcased the achievements of the Royal Government’s in-depth reforms and coordination measures designed to make the business and investment environment more competitive and attractive.

The forum facilitated exchanges of experiences, challenges, and direct requests between the state and the private sector, highlighting abundant opportunities for further investment in Cambodia.

It reaffirmed the Royal Government’s strong commitment to prioritising Investor Aftercare and building long-term partnerships for sustainable growth.

In his keynote address, Deputy Prime Minister Chanthol highlighted the government’s strong focus on the private sector, the continued strengthening of the one-stop service mechanism through the implementation of the CDC Investment Project Management System (cdcIPM) and the National Single Window System, and the establishment of the Anti-technology fraud law, all aimed at improving the investment and tourism environment in Cambodia and boosting confidence.

The forum, based on the Public-Private Partnership dialogue mechanism, provided an opportunity to gain a broader understanding of investment-related laws and regulations, as well as mechanisms for providing government support and facilitation services to the private sector.

“The Cambodia Investment Forum 2026 was successful and fruitful as expected, significantly contributing to strengthening investor confidence in the government through immediate actionable solutions,” CCC stated in the press release.

“The forum has fostered closer ties between public institutions and the private sector, and has compiled suggestions as input for improving the mechanism to ensure investors continue to invest in Cambodia (Investor Retention) for the long term,” it added.
