Nearly US$90 Million in Investment Ready to Flow into Cambodia, Creating Over 1,000 Jobs in Major Key Sectors

Private investment flows continue to show very strong positive signs, as six new qualified investment projects worth approximately US$89 million were reviewed and discussed at the 9th "One-Stop Service Meeting" of the Cambodian Investment Committee of the Council for the Development of Cambodia (CDC) on the morning of September 22, 2026. This important meeting was led by Mr. Chea Vuthy, Secretary-General of the Cambodian Investment Committee, together with representatives of relevant ministries-institutions and provincial administrations, and is expected to absorb labor and create more than 1,000 job opportunities for citizens, if registration is officially approved.

These new investments reflect diversified progress spanning 4 key strategic sectors, including: Agriculture and Agro-Industry sector with 2 projects (a rubber processing factory and a chicken farm with processing plant); Industry sector with 1 project focused on manufacturing metal household goods to enhance local production supply chains; and Tourism sector with 1 project to establish a developed tourism resort combined with handicraft production of art objects, aimed at boosting community economy.

At the same time, the infrastructure sector also stands out notably, through 2 solar power plant development projects with a total capacity of up to 127 megawatts (100 MW and 27 MW). This expansion of green energy sources not only helps meet the rising electricity demand for national economic development, but also serves as an important catalyst in promoting the use of renewable energy and further strengthening the competitiveness of investment in Cambodia.By: Sreypi
