The Royal Group Phnom Penh Special Economic Zone (RGPPSEZ) was established in 2006 with the vision of creating a premier hub for manufacturers across diverse industries while generating significant employment opportunities for Cambodian people.
After 19 years, we are proud to see how far the zone has come. Today, it is home to 113 companies from 15 nations, specializing in manufacturing of high-valued-added products, particularly in electronics and electrical components, automobile assembly, and automobile parts. These industries have created employment opportunities for 47,800 Cambodians and 700 foreign professionals, significantly contributing to the nation's economic growth.
The remarkable development of RGPPSEZ is also evident in its export performance. Over a five-year period, the export value doubled, climbing from USD 316 million in 2016 to USD 683 million in 2021. Even more impressively, it more than doubled again within just two years, reaching USD 1,621 million in 2023. In 2024, the zone achieved a record-high export value of USD 1,880 million, marking a 16% increase from the previous year. We take immense pride in contributing approximately 7% to Cambodia’s total export value of USD 26,664 million, as reported by the General Department of Customs and Excise.
Thanks to the proactive efforts of the Royal Government of Cambodia in effectively managing the COVID-19 pandemic, all investors in the zone were able to maintain operations and even expand. Key sectors are now experiencing steady recovery, and we are delighted to have welcomed five new companies to the zone, further reinforcing Cambodia’s supply chain resilience.
As the zone developer, these achievements inspire us to continue providing an exceptional special economic zone for both Cambodian and international investors. We remain committed to enhancing business opportunities, contributing to the nation’s economic progress, and advancing Cambodia’s industrialization journey.
