Cambodia's GDP growth has experienced significant fluctuations over the past five decades, with the economy witnessing a remarkable recovery from its all-time trough in 1994, when GDP contracted by 34.81%. This was a stark contrast to the 21.53% growth rate recorded in 1987, a period marked by the country's transition from a centrally planned economy to a market-oriented system. Since then, the economy has maintained a steady growth trajectory, albeit with some volatility, with the latest recorded growth rate standing at 4.77% in 2025, ranking Cambodia 37th globally. In comparison, its peer economies, such as the Maldives and United Arab Emirates, have also experienced robust growth, with the Maldives recording a growth rate of 4.79% in 2025. Looking ahead, a sustained improvement in infrastructure and investment in the country's manufacturing sector could further boost Cambodia's GDP growth, potentially pushing it into the top 20 globally.
