These developments have generated over 200,000 jobs in the province, reflecting the area’s growing appeal to investors.

This information was shared by HE Cheam Chansophoan, Governor of Kampong Speu Province, during a meeting with Chinese investors from Zhejiang Province on 29 August 2024.

He noted, “The province has shown robust growth, opening 30 new factories in just the last six months, with many more currently under construction.”
