China accounts for 54% of Cambodia’s total investment

“The report shows that Chinese investors committed a total of $5.42 billion last year, representing 54.25 percent of Cambodia’s total investment capital of $10 billion. The figure underlines China’s continued position as Cambodia’s most significant investment partner amid a broader rebound in approved projects.”

“Domestic investors ranked second, contributing $3.12 billion, or 31.27 percent, of total investment capital. Singapore followed in third place with $599 million, accounting for 5.99 percent, while the remaining investment originated from a range of other countries.”

“According to the CDC, the Cambodia Investment Committee (CIC) registered 630 investment projects in 2025 with a combined capital of $10 billion. These projects are expected to generate around 438,000 jobs, reinforcing the sector’s role as a key driver of employment and economic activity.”

“According to the latest figures from the General Department of Customs and Excise (GDCE), bilateral trade between Cambodia and China exceeded $17.6 billion in the first eleven months of 2025, marking a robust 28 percent increase compared with the same period last year. The data, however, also highlights an imbalance, with Cambodian exports to China declining by 6.4 percent year-on-year to $1.5 billion, while imports from China surged by 33.3 percent to $16.19 billion, widening the trade gap.”
