What Cambodia's economic profile is telling you

Cambodia continued to expand in 2025, with real GDP growth above 5 percent and moderate consumer-price inflation. The modeled unemployment rate is very low, but that measure alone does not describe informality or the quality of employment.

Cambodia's merchandise trade is large relative to the size of the economy and closely tied to regional supply chains. China supplied nearly half of merchandise imports in 2024, while exports remained concentrated in manufactured consumer goods and other traded products.

Reading the headline data

GDP shows the current-dollar size of the economy, while real growth measures changes in output after accounting for price effects. Inflation and unemployment add separate information about household prices and labor conditions.

Reading the trade data

Merchandise exports and imports cover traded goods. They are not combined with services trade or treated as a current-account measure.
