Participants discussed in-depth opportunities and challenges in investing in Cambodia, including the potential of Vietnam-Cambodia trade and Vietnam’s legal protection in the country.
Vietnam is currently the fifth biggest investor in Cambodia with over USD 3 billion worth of 129 projects, predominantly in rubber, fertiliser, health care, banking, aviation and telecommunications.
Between 2009 and 2014, growth of two-way trade averages nearly 30 percent per year. In January-October, the total export-import value hit USD 2.6 billion and is forecast to top USD 3.5 billion this year.
The event was co-hosted by the Vietnamese Embassy in Cambodia and the Association of Vietnamese Investors in Cambodia.
