Economy and Industry

In 1H, Cambodia collected $2.79 billion in taxes Cambodia collected 11,497.98 billion riels (approximately $2.79 billion) in taxes in the first half of 2023, 49.1% of the target ($5,692 million). The country has two tax collection institutions: the General Department of Taxation (GDT) and the General Department of Customs and Excise (GDCE). GDCE collected 4,607.65 billion riels, representing 41.4% of the target set in 2023, while the GDT collected 6,890.33 billion riels, equal to 56.1% of the target. The GDCE's tax revenue decreased in the first half of 2023 due to a decline in vehicle and machinery import taxes and free trade agreements. The GDT's tax collection has been good, exceeding its target, attributed to tax system reforms. (Source: Khmer Times)

In just seven months, Cambodian agricultural exports total more than $2.6 billion In the first seven months of 2023, agricultural exports totaled $2,629,596,524.56, with rice exports reaching $313,742,420, paddy rice at $504,714,372, and non-rice agricultural products at $1,811,139,732.56. This decrease was -19.20% compared to 2022. However, agricultural exports to overseas markets have slightly declined, with an increase of 3.32% due to India's announcement to close rice exports to maintain food security. Cambodia is considering strategies to benefit the economy by increasing local mill capacity, processing, and exporting directly to international markets. (Source: Khmer Times)
