Cambodia

Cambodia is a developing, lower-middle-income economy that has grown rapidly in recent decades, recovering from the catastrophe of the Khmer Rouge era and civil war to build a garment- and tourism-based economy.

Growth depends heavily on garment exports, construction, and Chinese investment, which has surged, deepening Cambodia's economic and political alignment with Beijing.

Key Sectors

The economy is led by garments and footwear, tourism centered on the temples of Angkor, construction and real estate, rice agriculture, and a growing reliance on Chinese-funded infrastructure.
