In a significant move, Hong Kong-based Jardine Matheson has announced its intention to deepen its investment in Cambodia’s burgeoning real estate market. The announcement follows a recent meeting between H.E. Sun Chanthol, Deputy Prime Minister and First Vice Chairman of the Council for the Development of Cambodia, and Mr. Elton Chan, Director of Jardine Matheson, held on September 11, 2025.

During their discussion, Mr. Chan highlighted Cambodia’s competitive advantages, namely its dollarized economy and commitment to open investment policies across various sectors. He expressed a strong interest not only in real estate but also in the promising electric vehicle sector, indicating Jardine Matheson’s plans to diversify its investments in these priority areas.

In response, H.E. Sun Chanthol shared insights into the remarkable growth of electric vehicle usage in Cambodia, assuring that the Royal Government is prioritizing policies to further enhance the sector. He encouraged Mr. Chan to maintain close communication with the Council for the Development of Cambodia (CDC) to streamline future investment proposals.

Founded in 1832 by William Jardine and James Matheson, Jardine Matheson is one of Hong Kong’s oldest and most reputable multinational corporations. The company operates across various sectors, including transport, trade, real estate, retail, hospitality, engineering, and finance, and continues to seek strategic opportunities in emerging markets like Cambodia.

As Cambodia positions itself as a regional investment hub, Jardine Matheson’s commitment signals growing international interest and confidence in the country’s economic potential.
