EuroCham stands committed to renewable energy, particularly rooftop solar, to enable manufacturers to utilize sustainable energy sources and keep higher value manufacturing in Cambodia, while making the Kingdom more attractive to newcomers. The chamber will also work in the coming year to support a further greening of the economy, energy infrastructure, and tourism.

As stated by Mr. Brinzer, increased digitialisation can help streamline administrative processes and eliminate red tape, making it easier for businesses to thrive. With increasing administrative capabilities comes increased application of these capabilities, and the danger of overreaching is becoming an issue for investors who aim at being compliant.

EuroCham will work to support capacity-building projects and HR policies that will help companies grow with local talent.

Eurocham supports a rapid integration of non-compliant companies into the regulatory environment to grow tax and state revenues, and to create a level playing field with the already compliant segment of the economy.

โ€œAs a relatively small economy, we must attract investment by making it easy for everyone to visit, invest, create good and better-paid jobs, and thus contribute to economic development that can help Cambodia compete with its regional peers,โ€ Mr. Brinzer said.

The EuroCham team looks forward to working with the government to make these goals a reality. Hereโ€™s to 2023 and out future accomplishments!
