Economy and Industry
Cambodia's imports of iron and steel up 23% YoY in 2022 Cambodia's import of iron and steel in 2022 reached $360mn, an increase of 23% YoY, according to the General Depart of Customs and Excise (GDCE). Cambodia Constructors Association general manager Chiv Sivpheng said that imports of iron, steel and other construction materials are on a steady upward trajectory, with momentum supplied by recovery in the industry that he expects to carry throughout 2023. However, Sivpheng does not expect any major jump in these imports in the near-term, at least until volatility in global economic growth settles to more comfortable levels. Housing Development Association of Cambodia secretary-general Huy Vanna remarked that the large-building construction segment is slowly recovering from its Covid-19 induced slump, but still needs more time to return to its "strong" pre-2018 state.
