In August 2026, the Council for the Development of Cambodia (CDC) and the Capital-Provincial Investment Sub-Committees (CPISCs) decided to register a total of 37 investment projects with a total investment capital of approximately US$233 million and can create approximately 23,000 jobs for citizens. Among the above investment projects, 27 projects were registered by the CDC with a total investment capital of approximately US$198 million and can create approximately 17,000 jobs for citizens. In particular, 10 investment projects were registered by the CPISCs with a total investment capital of approximately US$35 million and can create approximately 6,000 jobs for citizens. Notably, during the first 8 months of 2026, Cambodia continued to attract quality investment projects, especially in the infrastructure and tourism sectors, which saw an increase in investment capital, while the industrial sector remained the leading sector in attracting investment. This trend indicates that the investment climate in Cambodia remains positive and resilient, and reflects investors' confidence in the Royal Government's efforts to continue to promote business and investment activities.
