Synopsis: The single window plays an important role in promoting international trade facilitation in line with the Royal Government’s strategy.
The Council for the Development of Cambodia (CDC) Thursday reviewed 12 Qualified Investment Projects (QIPs) worth $128 million through the Single Window Scheme.
The review meeting was presided over by Chea Vuthy, Secretary General of the Cambodian Investment Board (CIB) of the CDC.
The CDC said that the investment is capable of creating over 4,600 jobs in the country.
“These investments encompass various industrial areas including the manufacturing of furniture, home appliances, utensils, napkins, yarn and dyeing, light bulbs, home décor items, electrical accessories, light tube, fishing equipment and toys.”
The investment proposals reviewed also include one tourism project – building a five-star hotel with 280 rooms, a statement by the CDC said.
The 12 proposed investment projects are spread across six provinces including Kandal province, Takeo, Kampong Speu, Svay Reang, Kampot, Kampong Chhnang and Kampong Thom.
“In May, the CDC registered a total of 59 investment projects with a total investment capital of approximately $816 million and could create approximately 44,000 jobs,” the CDC said.
Among the total investment projects, 38 are located outside the Special Economic Zones (SEZs), while 21 are within these zones.
The number of registered investments increased by 34 projects, representing approximately 136 percent, while investment capital grew by about $570 million, which is roughly 231 percent, compared to the same period in 2024.
From January to May 2025, there were 290 registered investments, an increase of 137 projects, or about 90 percent, compared to the same period last year. Total investment capital reached $4.2 billion, a rise of $1.4 billion, or nearly 52 percent, on a year-on-year basis.
Earlier, Prime Minister Hun Manet stressed that the National Single Window is another new achievement of the Royal Government in its efforts to improve the business environment, promote trade, and promote economic growth in the Kingdom.
“The single window plays an important role in promoting international trade facilitation in line with the Royal Government’s strategy and policy by providing and obtaining licences, certificates, permits, and other documents in electronic form for export-import goods.
“In addition, the national single window is a contribution to promoting the business environment, equitable investment, competition, transparency, accountability, and integrity, both legal and technical, for both domestic and foreign investors,” Mr Hun Manet pointed out.
