#33: Highlighting Opportunities for German Businesses in Cambodia
Aug 10, 2023 Season 1 Episode 33
AHK Vietnam

Cambodia has a young and dynamic population, a strategic location in the heart of ASEAN, a stable political environment, and preferential access to the EU market under the Everything But Arms scheme (EBA). The EBA grants duty-free and quota-free access for all exports from Cambodia, except arms and ammunition, to the EU, which is Cambodia's fifth-biggest trade. In 2022, total trade in goods between the EU and Cambodia equaled €6.3 billion.

The diplomatic and economic relations between Cambodia and Germany are also strong and longstanding. Germany is one of Cambodia's main development partners, assisting in areas such as rural development, health, governance, and human rights. In 2021, Germany was Cambodia's 10th-largest export market and 14th-largest import source.

In this episode of AHK Vietnam Podcast, we will hear from some of the key actors involved in the discussion on opportunities for European and German businesses to invest in Cambodia, such as: 

Stefan Messerer, Ambassador of Germany to Cambodia

Tassilo Brinzer, Chairman of EuroCham Cambodia

Marko Walde, Chief Representative of AHK in Vietnam, Myanmar, Cambodia, and Laos

Together with the host, Trang Dao, Head of Business Development of AHK Vietnam, we will share meaningful insights on the current situation and prospects of doing business in this beautiful country.

Enjoy listening!
