INTRODUCTION<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #00373f;font-size: 14px;text-align: justify;margin-top: 10px;\">The Kingdom of Cambodia sits at the heart of Southeast Asia, a rapidly expanding region in the world economy, and is undergoing an economic renaissance. Cambodia\u2019s 1999 membership to the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) and 2004 accession to the World Trade Organization (WTO) opened the country up to the global marketplace, and the country has grown at an astounding average rate of 6.8% per year since that time, making it one of the fastest growing economies in the world. ASEAN membership continues to bring additional opportunities for investment and the numerous trade agreements including with the EU, Japan and China, along with the recently concluded Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP), have established a strategic trading network with Cambodia firmly rooted as a hub.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #00373f;font-size: 14px;text-align: justify;margin-top: 10px;\">Cambodia\u2019s government actively courts foreign investment, offering numerous incentives and tax considerations to qualifying investors.  Cambodia boasts a generally solid legal infrastructure that provides a relatively business-friendly regulatory environment. While Cambodia is not without the problems common in many developing countries, its consistent economic growth and strategic positioning make it attractive as a potential destination for international investors. Tourism, construction, agricultural products, garment manufacturing, and the developing financial sector are all vibrant contributors to Cambodia\u2019s economic expansion, and the government has an eye toward transitioning to a higher technology economy suitable for its predominantly youthful population in its next stage of growth.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #00373f;font-size: 14px;text-align: justify;margin-top: 10px;\">The aim of this guide is to give investors insight into conducting business in Cambodia. The guide focuses on the laws and regulations surrounding commercial law, intellectual property rights, real property, taxation, and key economic sectors including energy, mining and telecommunications. Moreover, because business does not take place in a vacuum, we also include a section on personal and family law.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #00373f;font-size: 14px;text-align: justify;margin-top: 10px;\">BNG Legal is a leading regional law firm with offices in Cambodia and Myanmar providing comprehensive legal services to foreign and local clients.
