New Registered Businesses Increase by 33%


26 June 2014

The number of newly registered businesses in Cambodia increased 33% between January and June this year compared to the same time period last year.

The total number of new businesses increased from 1,401 to 1,868 between 1 January and 15 June, the figures show. Locally owned businesses increased from 910 to 1,214, while foreign-owned companies increased from 490 to 654. The majority of the foreign-owned companies came from South Korea, China, Japan, Thailand and Malaysia.

Spokesman for the Ministry of Commerce said the increase was because of the country’s investment law and location in the region. “Businesspeople are increasingly interested in Cambodia’s investment law, which allows for easy market access.”
