Cambodia's trade with RCEP members up 14.6% in Q1 2024

The figure was 65.8 per cent of its $12.7 billion total trade volume during the January-March period this year, a report by the ministry said.

The nation’s goods exports to the RCEP countries were worth $2.69 billion in Q1 2024—up by 25.7 per cent year on year (YoY). Its imports from RCEP members were worth $5.66 billion during the quarter—up by 10 per cent YoY.

Its top five trading partners under the pact are China, Vietnam, Thailand, Japan and Singapore, a global newswire reported.

The ministry feels despite rising protectionism and weakening global demand, RCEP has boosted regional trade and investment cooperation, bringing tremendous benefits to all the member countries.
