Economy and Industry

Non-garment export sector records strong growth Cambodia is experiencing a significant increase in the export of non-garment manufacturing products, indicating the country's successful economic diversification strategy. The exports of non-garment manufacturing products, including bicycles, electric goods and parts, solar, electric cable and wires, vehicle parts, bicycle parts, and car tyres, rose by 7% YoY to a combined $1,473 million in the first semester of this year. The principal markets for non-garment products include the EU, the US, Japan, Korea, and Thailand. The growth of the non-garment sector is not only strengthening Cambodia's export base but also creating a wider range of skilled labor opportunities for its workforce. (Source: Khmer Times)

AMRO calls on Cambodia to accelerate financial safeguards as economic growth slows Cambodia must accelerate the rollout of key financial safety mechanisms, including deposit insurance, emergency liquidity support, and crisis management frameworks, to protect its economy against rising vulnerabilities, according to the ASEAN+3 Macroeconomic Research Office (AMRO). The report warns that the Kingdom faces increased economic uncertainty due to external trade shocks and domestic financial sector stress. AMRO recommends enhancing macroprudential policy tools and finalizing long-pending safeguards essential for preserving financial stability, such as a deposit insurance scheme, a banking resolution framework, and emergency liquidity assistance mechanisms. The report also warns that growth under pressure from trade headwinds could slow down to 5.2% in 2025 and 4.7% in 2026, mainly due to the impact of US tariffs and subdued external demand. The current account is expected to shift to a deficit of 3.5% of GDP in 2025 and 5.4% in 2026. (Source: Cambodia Investment Review)
