Investing in Cambodia 

New affluence is pervading Cambodia, from the boom in infrastructure development to the thriving telecommunications industry. The economy has been resurging, with a GDP that has increased impressively for two decades. Among top growth indicators is the emergence of a middle class and a consumer market that is predominantly young.

Cambodia is populated with more than 16 million people, half of whom are younger than 25 with a median age of 25 years. Adult literacy has hovered around 77% since 2000 while the urban population has grown at a rate of over 3% annually since 1990.

Urbanisation, growing literacy rates, and the return of many Cambodians from overseas are reshaping the landscape of Cambodia. The country has a young market and emerging middle class with an appetite for more convenience, better products and services, and boundless growth opportunities.

Tourism growth is impressive and provides the biggest contribution to growth in the services sector. It benefits hotels, restaurants, and casinos directly while extending gains to transportation, communication, retail trade, and finance. With the marvelous Angkor complex alone drawing tourists at impressive annual growth rates, tourism is poised to replace agriculture as the backbone of the national economy.

As a least developed country, Cambodia enjoys lucrative preferential access to the markets of Europe and North America, as well as access to free trade amongst member nations of the 650 million-strong ASEAN.

With low wages, a young and competitive population, liberal government policies, low tax regime and favourable access to wider markets, Cambodia represents an extremely attractive investment destination.

The Royal Group offers investors the platform to realise opportunities in a nation that counts among the most open economies in the developing world. Nurturing economic freedom and corporate responsibility, The Royal Group is a central part of Cambodia’s continuing development.
