World Bank revises global and Cambodian economic outlooks for 2025–2026

The World Bank has revised its economic outlooks for both the global economy and Cambodia in 2025–2026. Globally, growth is now projected at 2.5% for 2026, down from 2.9% in 2025, with risks including war-related disruptions that could reduce growth to as low as 1.3%. In contrast, Cambodia’s economy showed resilience, supported by a 15% year-on-year increase in foreign direct investment—reaching $5.1 billion or 10.1% of GDP in 2025—and a 17.7% rise in non-gold goods exports in early 2026.
