FDI to Cambodia rockets 12% to $3.5 billion in 2019

Cambodia attracted more than $3.5 billion in foreign direct investment (FDI) last year, an increase of nearly 12 per cent over 2018, thanks in part to Chinese investors who accounted for half of the investments, a National Bank of Cambodia (NBC) report released last week showed.

According to the Macroeconomic and Banking Progress 2019 Report and 2020 Outlook, total FDI amounted to $3.588 billion, up 11.7 per cent from $3.212 billion last year.
