Apparel exports down 21% in Dec due to sluggish global demand Cambodia's apparel exports in Dec 2022 dropped 21% due to sluggish global demand, affecting the sector's overall performance for the year. The export of apparel declined by 20.9% to $432mn in December from $592mn reported for the same month of the previous year, according to data from the General Department of Customs and Excise. The global economic slowdown impacts Cambodia as it is a small economy fully open to the world for business, Under Secretary of State at the Ministry of Economy and Finance Huot Pum said recently. The export orders are unlikely to revive until mid-2023 as retailers in Europe and the US have just too much inventory from the previous seasons, sustainability and garment expert Massimiliano Tropeano said. The garments and footwear sector may be in a cautious situation in 2023 as orders from Europe will decline, Heng Sour, a spokesman for the Ministry of Labour, reportedly claimed in early December.
