Cambodia has seen a significant boost in its investment landscape with the approval of 328 new projects through the Cambodian Investment Project Management System (cdcIPM) after nearly a year of operation. H.E. Sun Chanthol, Deputy Prime Minister and First Vice Chairman of the Council for the Development of Cambodia (CDC), announced this promising development at a training program focused on investment project registration and the implementation of electronic signatures and stamps (e-Signature & e-Stamp) held on August 14, 2025.

During the event, H.E. Sun Chanthol emphasized that the cdcIPM system has been instrumental in streamlining service delivery procedures. He noted that the transition to digital documentation not only simplifies investment processes but also aids in combating forgery of public documents through advanced digital verification methods. This initiative aligns with Cambodia’s commitment to enhancing its business and investment environment, ensuring compliance with laws and legal standards.

Since the launch of the system, a total of 382 investment applications have been submitted, marking a notable achievement in promoting economic growth. The cdcIPM system was initially trialed in August 2024 before its official launch on November 27, 2024, following royal approval. The use of electronic signatures and stamps was formalized with Notification No. 1356/25 K.A.K. on July 18, 2025, further solidifying the digital transition in document management. (Read more)
