Is Cambodia a Good Country to Invest in?

 

Real Estate Cambodia is a rapidly changing society that offers many opportunities for the discerning investor. Although further progress is needed in legal and judicial reform, foreign investors are convinced of the royal government's commitment to the reform process. The country's commitment to a market economy is much stronger, as enshrined in the constitution. We look forward to fruitful ongoing negotiations with Royal Government officials at IBC, aimed at further improving the investment climate.

6 Reasons Why Cambodia is a Good Country to Investment

Preface

Foreign direct investment has been recognized as a major potential partner in growth and development. It can access capital, technology, management information and new markets. Compared to other types of capital flows, it is also more stable with a long-term commitment to the host economy. An investment guide for Cambodia is the seventh concrete product of the collaboration between the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) and the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC). It aims to bring together two parties with complementary interests: companies looking for new locations and countries looking for new investors.

This is not always a straightforward exercise, as firms are driven by their global strategies as much as they are greedy for specific opportunities, and countries have economic and social goals that attract foreign investment. The guides themselves are the product of a dialogue, including between business and government representatives, and during workshops that precede the completion of the guides.

It is our hope that the guides in turn will contribute to the negotiations, helping to strengthen and sustain it, as we believe that in the long run it will only create the conditions for faster investment flows.

Location

In 1999, Cambodia became a member of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), comprising 10 countries with a total population of about 50,550 million and a GDP of less than 600 600 billion.

The China ASEAN Free Trade Area (CAFTA), to be implemented in 2010, will create a trade block of 1.7 billion people. No one can be smaller than the ongoing dialogue between India and ASEAN. In addition, as an LDC, Cambodia has preferential access to some of the world's richest companies for a variety of best products.

Note to the Reader

This booklet is published as part of the UNCTAD - ICC Series Investment Guides. The publications in this series are for the use of foreign investors who are largely unfamiliar with the countries covered. Thus, they are designed to provide an overview of potential investment opportunities, rather than creating a complete reference work or providing detailed practical instructions. However, they point to more sources of information in the private and public sectors. There are two other features of these publications that will be of interest to readers. One is that they are third party documents, intended to provide a balanced and objective account of investment conditions.
