In a significant boost to its economy, Cambodia has approved 575 new investment projects in the first 10 months of 2025, with a remarkable investment capital of approximately USD 9.2 billion. This announcement comes from the Cambodia Investment Committee under the Council for the Development of Cambodia (CDC).

The numbers reflect a substantial increase compared to the same period last year, with 229 more projects being registered—an impressive growth of about 66%. Investment capital has also surged by nearly USD 3.7 billion, representing a 67% increase from the 346 projects valued at USD 5.5 billion registered in 2024.

Notably, the CDC’s recent data reveals that the total number of registered investment projects has surpassed the 2024 figures by 161 projects. The committee also reported that, as of October 1, 2025, 29 investment projects have been approved, totaling approximately USD 1.4 billion and expected to generate around 25,000 jobs for the local workforce.

Among the projects approved on October 18 are situated outside special economic zones, while 11 are located within those designated areas, highlighting a diverse approach to investment across the country.

The CDC’s ongoing efforts to attract foreign and local investments are expected to reinforce Cambodia’s position as an emerging market in Southeast Asia, driving economic growth and job creation. As the country continues to develop its infrastructure and business landscape, these developments are a clear indication of investor confidence in Cambodia’s potential.
