Overview
Cambodia's government revenue stood at 14.46% in 2025, a decline of +0.12% from 2024. The IMF projects 14.46% by 2025. Cambodia ranked 172nd globally.
Cambodia’s government revenue has risen steadily over the past three decades, climbing from 8.12 percent of GDP in 1996 to 14.46 percent in 2025, which places the country 172nd in the world according to the IMF World Economic Outlook. The upward trajectory accelerated after the late‑1990s trough of 8.04 percent in 1998, reaching an all‑time high of 19.77 percent in 2019 before moderating to the current level. This pattern mirrors the experience of several peers; for example, the Democratic Republic of Congo recorded 14.56 percent in the same year, while Zimbabwe posted 14.35 percent, indicating that Cambodia is now clustered with middle‑income economies in terms of fiscal capacity. The modest slowdown since the 2019 peak suggests that further revenue expansion will depend on deepening tax administration, diversifying the tax base, and sustaining economic growth, which could lift the share above the present 14‑percent range in the coming years.
