Cambodia's oil import expenditure reaches $2.18 billion in 2024 In the first 11 months of 2024, Cambodia's expenditure on oil imports reached a substantial $2.18 billion, marking an 11.3% increase compared to the previous year. This significant rise in imports underscores the country's heavy reliance on imported oil, as its own oil reserves remain untapped. The breakdown of the imports reveals that Cambodia imported $1.3 billion worth of diesel fuel and $876 million worth of petroleum oils. This increase in oil imports is driven by the growing demand for energy in the country, fueled by economic growth and industrial expansion. The Ministry of Mines and Energy has projected that Cambodia's demand for oil products will continue to rise, reaching 4.8 million tons by 2030, up from 2.8 million tons in 2020.

This surge in investments is attributed to the country's political stability, improved legal frameworks, and robust economic growth. The approved investments span various sectors, including manufacturing, agriculture, infrastructure, and tourism, reflecting the diverse opportunities available in the Cambodian market. One of the key factors driving this investment boom is the government's commitment to creating a favorable business environment. This includes implementing reforms to streamline investment procedures, reduce bureaucratic hurdles, and enhance transparency. (Source: Khmer Times)

Cambodia achieves record 5.59 million air passenger trips in 2024  Cambodia achieved a record 5.59 million air passenger trips in 2024, reflecting a 22% YoY increase in air travel and highlighting the country's growing appeal as a tourist destination. This impressive rise in passenger numbers is driven by several factors, including the opening of the Chinese-invested Siem Reap Angkor International Airport and the overall growth in tourism. The new airport, with its state-of-the-art facilities and increased capacity, has attracted more international airlines and passengers, boosting Cambodia's connectivity and tourism sector. The airport's strategic location near the Angkor Wat temple complex, one of the world's most famous tourist attractions, has further enhanced its appeal to travelers. (Source: Khmer Times)
