- Moving on now to other business-related news:
- While rising fuel costs are pressuring Cambodian businesses and households, the World Bank's latest economic update shows the economy is proving resilient, supported by surging foreign investment and buoyant exports. The World Bank Cambodia Economic Update for June 2026, titled ‘Navigating Shocks’, was published on June 9, and details how conflict in the Middle East has transmitted an oil price shock to the Kingdom, leading to higher transport and production costs for firms and limiting their ability to sustain employment. According to the bank, real GDP growth is projected to moderate to 3.9 per cent in 2026 before recovering to 4.9 per cent in 2027.
- The Council for the Development of Cambodia (CDC) and the Japan External Trade Organisation reaffirmed their commitment to strengthening economic cooperation on June 9, with a focus on improving the investment climate, expanding business opportunities and attracting more Japanese companies to the Kingdom. The meeting marked the opening day of Cambodia’s investment promotion mission to Japan and was organised by the Japan External Trade Organisation’s Phnom Penh office. During the meeting, both sides exchanged views and held in-depth discussions on several key aspects, such as the establishment of a Business Co-Creation Team (BCT) focused on improving the investment climate, exploring new business opportunities, and attracting major corporations as well as Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) from Japan to invest in Cambodia.
- The Ministry of Commerce announced on June 9 that the Secretariat of China-Eurasia will organise "The 9th China-Eurasia Expo" from June 25 to 29 in China’s Xinjiang province.
