The report identifies Malaysia as Cambodia's seventh-largest trading partner, after China, the United States, Vietnam, Thailand, Japan and Singapore.
Citing the General Department of Customs and Excise of Cambodia (GDCE), it states that bilateral trade in the first four months of 2026, from January to April, exceeded US$500 million, up 51.5% from US$353 million in the same period of 2025.
According to the cited GDCE figures, Cambodia's exports to Malaysia were worth US$67 million, an increase of 47.4%, while Cambodia's imports from Malaysia exceeded US$467 million, up 52.1%.
Dr ជ័យ តិច, an analyst following geopolitics and economics, said Cambodia had shifted some imports to Malaysia following border problems with Thailand and boycotts of Thai goods by Cambodian consumers. This was the analyst's assessment of the change in trade.
Separately, citing Cambodia's Ministry of Commerce, the report puts bilateral trade in 2025 at about US$1.1 billion, an increase of 24.66%. Cambodia's exports to Malaysia were valued at US$143 million, down 2.55%, while its imports from Malaysia were US$935 million, up 30.25%.
