Cambodia records fixed-asset investment of over $2.6 billion in first 4 months of 2026

Cambodia attracted 184 fixed-asset investment projects worth more than $2.6 billion during the January-April period of 2026, Deputy Prime Minister Sun Chanthol said yesterday.

 

Chanthol, who is also the first vice-chairman of the Council for the Development of Cambodia, said the approved projects included special economic zones (SEZs), a wind power plant, an electric vehicle assembly plant, a motorcycle assembly factory, a car tyre plant, and a five-star hotel, among others.

“New investment truly reflects investors’ confidence in Cambodia’s peace, political stability, and business potential,” he told an investment forum with some 500 participants.

SEZs have played an important role in attracting foreign direct investment, Chanthol said, adding that 35 of the 52 SEZs in the Southeast Asian country are now operational.

He said the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement, the ASEAN Free Trade Agreement, and Cambodia’s bilateral free trade agreements with China, South Korea, and the United Arab Emirates are key drivers of foreign direct investment.
