Before the tariffs were announced, the growth projection stood at around 6.3 per cent for both 2025 and 2026 and around 6.5 per cent for the medium term (2027-2028).
“The decrease is due to the expected impact of reciprocal tariffs policy on export-serving sectors,” according to a recent report on the ‘Budget Strategy Plan 2026-2028 and the Preparation of the Finance Management Bill for 2026’.
If the external situations worsen and the talks with the United States do not yield expected results, the growth will further decline, the report noted.
The ad hoc Cambodia-US bilateral relations coordination working group led by Deputy Prime Minister Sun Chanthol recently wrapped the first round of talks with the United States, a domestic media outlet reported.
