Cambodia Launches New Economic Zones in Siem Reap
Cambodia inaugurates four new economic zones in Siem Reap to boost tourism-linked manufacturing and attract targeted foreign investment.
Cambodia has launched four new economic zones in Siem Reap Province as part of a broader strategy to diversify its industrial base beyond garments and electronics. The zones are designed to integrate tourism, agro‑processing, and light manufacturing, offering incentives for investors in high‑value sectors. Officials say the move aims to absorb excess workforce, reduce regional disparities, and enhance export competitiveness during periods of slower global demand. The government expects the Siem Reap zones to create thousands of jobs and deepen regional supply‑chain linkages, aligning with Cambodia’s medium‑term growth targets for 2026–2027.
