Preah Sihanouk: The province continues to demonstrate strong investment potential. Over more than two years, from 2024 through the second quarter of 2026, it attracted an estimated US$8.4 billion through the approval and facilitation of 491 investment projects, which are expected to create more than 60,000 jobs for residents.
Of the 491 projects, 216 concern stalled buildings, while 235 are new projects or projects unrelated to stalled buildings. In addition, 25 business-expansion projects and 15 existing operating projects continue to receive support.
Speaking at a meeting on July 22, 2026 that approved 10 new investment projects with total investment of about US$72 million, ហ៊ាន សាហ៊ីប, Secretary of State at the Ministry of Economy and Finance and head of the Preah Sihanouk Investment Promotion Working Group, said the group had continued actively providing incentives and simplifying investment procedures to improve the investment environment and support the province’s economic development.
The report describes the results as reflecting growing investor confidence in the potential of Preah Sihanouk, which is becoming an important Cambodian centre for the economy, industry, trade, tourism and logistics.
