Situated on the Indochina Peninsula in Southeast Asia, the Kingdom of Cambodia recorded exports valued at US$26.7 billion in 2024, reaching markets across the globe.
This figure marks a 50.5% surge from the $17.7 billion reported in 2020. On a year-over-year basis, Cambodian export earnings grew by 12.2% compared to $23.8 billion in 2023.
In 2024, the Cambodian riel appreciated by 7.3% against the US dollar over the past five years, and by 4.9% compared to 2023. This currency strength made goods priced in riel relatively more expensive for buyers using weaker US dollars.
