Figure 1. Cambodia: Strong Growth with Substantial Risks Economic growth remains strong supported by garment exports, tourism, and real estate.
Garments exports to the EU have been an important driver of growth owing to preferential treatment.
Tourism remains strong, mainly due to the increase in the number of tourist arrivals from China.
While export growth is moderating in line with external demand slowdown, it remains in double digits.
Inflation remains muted, thanks to a decline in food and global fuel prices.
Rapid credit growth, particularly in construction and real estate, is increasing macro-financial stability risks.

I. Garment Exports from Cambodia

7. New investments, factory openings and closures
a – New investment: Foreign investment in both the labour and capital intensive sectors plays a pivotal role in the Cambodian job market as hundreds of thousands of new job seekers flood into the market every year. ADB’s Annual Development Outlook 2016 revealed that “Cambodia’s large supply of inexpensive, low-skilled labour has attracted substantial foreign direct investment into the production of garments and footwear for export”.22 Inflow of foreign investment to the garment and footwear sector continued to show encouraging signs in the first quarter of 2016, according to official figures of the Cambodian Investment Board (CIB), both in terms of number of new projects and in terms of investment values. Out of 37 total new investment projects that were approved during the first quarter of 2016, 22 projects were in the garment and footwear sector, of which 18 were in garments and 4 were in footwear.23 While a large proportion of newly approved projects are in garment and footwear, projects in the sector only accounted for 9 per cent of new investment in value terms. In the first quarter of the year, there was US$ 955 million worth of new investment in all sectors approved, of which US$ 86 million was in garment and footwear. This ratio was higher in 2014 and 2015, when new investment in the garment and footwear sector represented 28 per cent and 10 per cent of new investment (respectively). In absolute terms, the sector still
22 Asian Development Bank’s Annual Development Report 2016 or it can also be found on ADB’s page (dated 11 May, 2016) http://www.adb.org/news/features/here-comes-cambodia-asia-s-new-tiger-economy 23 These are qualified investment projects only (QIP). Excludes existing expansion projects.
recorded 20 per cent growth compared to the same quarter of 2015. Investment in the garment and footwear sector is growing at a solid pace, but investment in other sectors is growing even more rapidly, as FDI inflows to Cambodia diversify. The other sectors attracting significant FDI in 2015 were infrastructure, agriculture, telecommunications, and tourism. The pattern of FDI inflows from different economies remains largely similar to that of last year. Investment in the garment and footwear sector continued to be driven by investors from China (37 per cent), Taiwan (China) (12 per cent), Hong Kong (China) (6 per cent) and the UK (6 per cent). Most of the garment and footwear projects approved during the first quarter of 2016 were in the form of sole ownership (85 per cent), with joint ventures accounting for the remaining 15 per cent. b – Opening, closure and operating factories: The Ministry of Commerce maintains a database of factories. This data has been used by the ILO in this and past Bulletins to measure factory openings and closures. During the first quarter of 2016, the Ministry became aware that a number of factories had been inactive for months, and in some cases had closed down, but had not provided official notice to the Ministry and thus had not been recorded as such in the database. The Ministry therefore reclassified 122 garment and footwear factories as being closed or in a temporary closure. As a result of this exercise, the database of the ministry indicated that there were 12 newly opened garment and footwear factories, in the first quarter of 2016, while 122 factories closed down. There was therefore a net closure of 110 factories reported in the first quarter of 2016, of which 100 were garment factories and 10 were in footwear. The total number of garment and footwear factories, by the end of March 2016, stands at 589 factories, down from 699 in 2015. 24 It should be emphasised that this fall appears to be largely a statistical artefact arising from a correction of the record, rather than an increase in the rate of real closures. Export figures and employment figures suggest ongoing growth in the industry. 8. Employment and wages Total employment within the garment and footwear sector continued to increase during the first quarter of 2016, reaching nearly 630,000 people25 representing growth of 5.3 per cent over the first quarter of 2015.26 The total wage bill

Some sub-contractor factories (which are not directly exporting, nor officially registered) are not included. 25 Average of monthly figures for Q1 2016. 26 This is the average monthly employment size in the first quarter of 2016 compared to the first quarter of 2015

Building multi-modal transport and logistic system to connect to 3 keys industrial corridors namely Phnom Penh–Sihanoukville, Phnom Penh - Bavet, and Phnom Penh - Poi Pet.
Building modern institutions for vocational and technical training / human resources development needed by industries.
Develop and transform Sihanoukville Province into a multi-purpose Special Economic Zone.

IV. Case: Minebea (Cambodia) Ltd• Precision maker • Oct. 2010: Established in Cambodia • Apr. 2011: Start operaKon in a rental factory in PPSEZ,
with 300 workers. • Sept. 2016: 6,500 workers • Dec. 2016: Opening of 3rd ProducKon Line.
• Business Model: Import parts from its subsidiary factories in Thailand, Malaysia, and China Assemble in PPSEZ Export to factory in Thailand.
IV. Why Minebea to Cambodia?
• Proximity with its subsidiary factories in Thailand
• Cheap and abundant labor • Strong government supports
• Good service provided by PPSEZ • Risk DiversificaKon from concentraKon of producKon base.

IV. Determinants of FDI Decision
• Close Proximity with Thailand: – Wage/Skill DifferenKal Division of labor – Thailand on relaKvely high value-‐added producKon, while Cambodia on relaKvely low value-‐added one.
• ASEAN economic integraKon: – Low or no tariff among ASEAN members – IntegraKon into the regional producKon chain

V. Conclusion• DiversificaKon and integraKon into regional value chain network is important.
• Complementary ProducKon with “Thailand + 1”. • Need to move up to higher value-‐added producKon. Thus, linkage educaKon-‐occupaKon nexus needs to be well coordinated.
• In the future, from “industrial development policy” to “industry-specific policy” is needed.
