Bordering Thailand, Laos and Vietnam in Southeast Asia, Cambodia is a peaceful country of 17 million people with a successful capitalist market economy.

Steeped in rich history and culture, Cambodia overcame a vicious civil war to become one of the fastest-growing economies in Asia, largely driven by its thriving tourism, textiles and construction industries. Significant increases in international trade, education, healthcare and standards of living has helped make Cambodia a global leader in reducing poverty. It is now classified as a lower-middle income economy by the World Bank Group and a home to some of the largest U.S. brands from Tiffany & Co. to CocaCola, Ford Motor Company and more.
