Shipments to RCEP exceed $6.6B between January and August

Economy and Industry

Shipments to RCEP exceed $6.6B between January and August Cambodia's exports to RCEP countries reached $6,628 million from January to August of this year, a nearly 10% increase from the same period last year, constituting 31.8% of Cambodia's total exports. Imports from RCEP nations increased by 16.95% to $19,728 million. This led to a 15% YoY increase in Cambodia's two-way trade with RCEP nations, reaching $26,375 million, which accounted for 61.5% of the country's total international trade. Officials attribute these positive figures to the RCEP agreement's role in enhancing market access and preferential tariffs for Cambodian products. RCEP, which entered into force in January 2022, includes 15 Asia-Pacific countries. Cambodia's main exports include garments, machinery, and agricultural products, while major imports consist of garment manufacturing raw materials and medicines. Cambodia is actively pursuing more free trade agreements to expand market access as it prepares to graduate from Least Developed Country status. (Source: Khmer Times)

Cambodia's CDC invites French investors to discover growth prospects Cambodia has requested French assistance in encouraging French investors to increase Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in the Kingdom, citing a strong history of bilateral relations. This was discussed during a working meeting between Cambodian Investment Board (CIB) officials and a delegation from the France-Cambodia Business Council of MEDEF International. Since 1994, Cambodia has approved 44 French investment projects totaling approximately $380 million, contributing technology and expertise. France is Cambodia's 16th largest trading partner, with bilateral trade showing an 11.4% increase in the first eight months of 2025. Economists highlight the potential for significant economic growth if France encourages its investors to establish manufacturing facilities in Cambodia for European markets.

Cambodia promotes 'Made in Cambodia' branding to protect fisheries sector The Cambodian Fisheries Administration (FiA) is urging local businesses to adopt a "Made in Cambodia" label to safeguard the nation's industry identity and reputation, particularly against branding theft. This initiative aims to promote local fisheries products and enterprises, with the FiA supporting processing, quality, and food safety standards through programs like CAPFISH-Capture. Experts highlight the importance of distinct local branding and certifications like the Cambodia Quality Seal (CQS) to build consumer trust, ensure compliance, and prevent copyright infringements. Increased local consumer support presents an opportunity for the sector's expansion, though challenges persist in encouraging all enterprises to meet these quality requirements. (Source: Kiripost)
