Department of International Trade Promotion (DITP)
Key summary
In the first nine months of 2026, Cambodia's foreign trade expanded by 21.3%, with total exports reaching $27.09 billion (up 21%) and imports at $29.91 billion (up 21.6%). However, domestic retail and wholesale sectors slowed due to high global oil prices, the Cambodia-Thailand border situation, and crackdowns on online fraud networks. Economists Dr. Ky Sereyvath and Lim Heng noted a divergence between the growing export-oriented industrial sector and the struggling domestic economy. The National Bank of Cambodia and the Asian Development Bank (ADB) forecast 2026 GDP growth at 3.9% with inflation potentially rising to 4.9%, while projecting a recovery to 4.7% growth in 2027 supported by diversified export markets and foreign direct investment.
