The project is anticipated to bring economic benefits to Cambodia, including a reduction in the time, distance, and cost of transportation, the establishment of trade zones and logistics hubs, the construction of new terminals, the expansion of development zones for agriculture, irrigation, aquaculture, and animal husbandry, and support for the growth of the fourth economic pole.

The government has approved the rules of origin draft law The draft law on rules of origin was approved by the government on Friday, April 19, 2023, with the goal of promoting and facilitating trade that gains from trade preferences and non-systemic activities. Additionally, it will aid in the prevention of counterfeiting, ensuring that products exported from Cambodia are of Cambodian origin and adhere to the Free Trade Agreements. Additionally, it will make it possible for Cambodia to carry out its obligations under the WTO framework and to promote and facilitate trade with the private sector, particularly the export of Cambodian goods that benefit from preferential tariffs from the importing nations that grant Cambodia trade preferences and under various free trade agreements to which Cambodia is a member.

With a contribution of 73.5%, China continues to be the biggest provider of Cambodia FDI from January to April According to senior investment official Chea Vuthy, China continued to be the largest source of new FDI (foreign direct investment) promises into Cambodia in the first four months of the year, contributing 73.5% of the total registered capital. He claims that between January and April, the CDC approved 65 investment projects totaling $588 million in paid-up capital, with around 60% of those projects coming from China, or the equivalent of 73.5% of FDI stock. The strategic location, high level of peace, competitive workforce, abundance of resources for export-oriented processing, free trade agreements (FTA), and preferential trade access to ASEAN, China, Japan, Europe, and the US are just a few of the Kingdom's comparative advantages for luring investors, according to Vuthy.
