Economy and Industry

Cambodia records over $25 billion in trade within five-month period Cambodia's international trade volume reached over $25 billion in the first five months of this year, according to a report by the General Department of Customs and Excise. The volume rose by 18.5% to $25.29 billion between January and May, compared to $21.33 billion recorded in the same period last year. The country exported goods worth $11.8 billion, a 17.2% increase, while imports totaled $13.48 billion, an 19.7% increase. The United States and Vietnam were Cambodia's two largest export markets, accounting for $4.35 billion and $2.04 billion in exports, respectively. China remained Cambodia's largest source of imports, with a total value of $7 billion, a 31.4% increase from the previous year. The government's active trade diplomacy has fostered strong ties with international partners, attracting unprecedented interest in investment projects registered with the Council for the Development of Cambodia (CDC). Key sectors such as garments, footwear, and electronics continue to be the backbone of Cambodia's manufacturing. (Source: Khmer Times)

Thai firms encounter short-term business risks amid border tensions Thai companies operating in Cambodia face short-term business risks due to border tensions between the two nations, according to UOB Kay Hian, one of Asia's largest brokerage firms. The company views these tensions as a psychological factor rather than a fundamental risk, and Thai listed companies with investments in Cambodia have not experienced significant disruptions to their operations. Analysts suggest that companies listed on the Stock Exchange of Thailand (SET) with operations in Cambodia may face only short-term psychological impacts. Thai-Cambodian disputes are not new and have flared up intermittently over the past two decades. Carabao Group Plc (CBG) plans to establish a manufacturing plant in Cambodia, aligning with regional strategies to lower production costs and offer price competitiveness. While the Thai-Cambodian issue may affect investor sentiment regarding stocks with Cambodian exposure, there has been no material disruption to actual business operations. (Source: Khmer Times)
