Predominantly garment factories, these new investments were mainly from China, South Korea, Japan and Thailand. In April alone, 20 new factories were registered, and 19 resumed operations, totaling $284 million in investments, according to the ministry's Secretary of State. Fixed-asset investments reached $19 billion, an increase of 14% from the previous year. In addition, the factories collectively created 1.58 million jobs. Deputy Prime Minister Vongsey Vissoth highlighted a shift in foreign direct investment (FDI) towards manufacturing, driven by Cambodia's economic stimulus initiatives. This shift includes electronics manufacturing, data centers, and vehicle assembly, marking a significant economic restructuring. Cambodia exported $8 billion worth of goods in the first four months, a 15.2% increase from the previous year, with the garment industry remaining the top earner and non-garment manufacturing on the rise.
