Business between Cambodia and the Philippines has not been high volume to date. But a trade mission led by the Philippines Overseas Construction Board (POCB) to Cambodia on 21-22 October will likely bring more Filipino investors here, especially to the building sector.

During a welcome and discussions in Phnom Penh hosted by the Cambodia Constructors Association (CCA) on 22 October, the 25 POCB delegates, representing various building-related associations and corporations in the Philippines including the Philippine Constructors Association (PCA), explored the current status and future prospects of the construction industry in Cambodia.

The delegates asked questions related to the cost of construction materials, labor and the state of labor supply as a whole. They were also curious to know about possible areas of investment and partnership in the kingdom.

Representing CCA Chairman Neak Oknha Pung Kheav Se, Neak Oknha Hann Khieng, CCA Vice-Chairman Charles Vann explained the rapid development and the details of the nation’s construction industry. They also discussed the challenges and opportunities in the sector which POCB members could potentially take advantage of.

After the one-hour meeting, some of the Filipino delegates expressed interest in attending the 3rd Cambodia Constructors Association Summit and Cambodia Construction Industry Expo 2014 scheduled for December 3-5, 2014.

A dinner party for POCB and CCA members was organised to strengthen business networking between the two groups. The POCB delegates visited Angkor in Siem Reap and then went on to visit Myanmar.
