Signal Cambodia's bank-related inflows turned negative in 2024 after driving growth to 2021
Summary
Cambodia's recent capital inflow history shows how quickly bank-related funding can reverse. Its total inflows grew steadily until 2021. That growth came mainly from a strong expansion in bank-related and other inflows, with only a modest increase in foreign direct investment. After 2021, bank-related and other inflows fell sharply and turned negative in 2024. Throughout this period FDI stayed relatively stable and portfolio inflows were negligible, leaving direct investment as Cambodia's steadiest source of foreign capital.
