Sihanoukville's investment program gathers momentum from Chinese investors Sihanoukville's Governor, Kouch Chamroeun, reports that 18 private firms have applied to invest in frozen construction projects under Cambodia's 'Special Investment Promotion Program in Sihanoukville 2024'. The program, initiated in January, offers significant incentives for incoming developers to take over stalled projects or commence new construction projects, including countless tax and administrative fee exemptions, streamlined procedures to secure construction permits, concessions on inspection fees, and encouragement of out-of-court dispute resolution for investment-related disputes. With over 340 frozen projects, the program aims to revitalize Sihanoukville's real estate sector. Governor Chamroeun highlighted the province's promising future, backed by its status as a special economic zone, strategic geographical advantages, and infrastructure development.

Cambodia prepares national policy for electric vehicle development Cambodia is on the brink of unveiling its 'National Policy on Electric Vehicle Development 2024-2030', signalling a monumental shift in transportation. Spearheaded by Prime Minister Hun Manet, the policy is poised to capitalize on technological advancements and accelerate EV adoption. Currently, with just 1,489 EVs traversing Cambodian roads, projections foresee a remarkable surge to over a million electric two and three-wheelers by 2030 and 100,000 electric cars by 2035. The policy lays the groundwork for a sustainable transition by incentivizing the development of charging station infrastructure and addressing crucial questions like battery disposal. By positioning Cambodia as a frontrunner in EV adoption, the policy not only fosters sustainable development but also underscores the nation's commitment to climate change mitigation, ultimately shaping a greener and more environmentally conscious future.
