According to the report, Cambodia’s General Department of Customs and Excise said in an April 8, 2026 release that the government was providing support worth approximately US$47 million a month through tax relief to mitigate energy-price increases linked to conflict in the Middle East, stabilise domestic fuel prices and ease the public’s burden.
The measures primarily involved reductions in import duties and taxes on petroleum, gas and related products. To support the energy transition, import-tax reductions also covered electric vehicles (EVs), plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs), induction stoves and solar-powered equipment.
Citing Commerce Ministry figures for that period, the report puts diesel at 8,200 riels per litre, about US$2.05, up 113% from the end of February; regular petrol at 5,500 riels per litre, up 42.8%; and LPG at 3,900 riels per litre, up 95%. The customs department said the measures aimed to sustain oil and gas supply and ease domestic price pressures.
