Cambodia Investment Review
The International Business Chamber of Cambodia (IBC) has rolled out its Yearly Pulse Survey, inviting organizations across sectors to share insights on their operations, challenges, and outlook in Cambodia.
Participants can take part via this link: IBC Yearly Pulse Survey.
IBC says the survey is a critical tool to understand evolving trends in the local business environment—and to amplify the voice of the private sector in policy dialogues.
What the Survey Seeks to Capture
Through the questionnaire, IBC asks participating firms to provide:
- Their primary industry
- The main activity they conduct in Cambodia (e.g. services, manufacturing, logistics, R&D, procurement, sales & distribution, or others)
- The year they began operations in Cambodia
- The number of employees they currently have in the Kingdom
- The location of their corporate headquarters
- Whether they are an IBC member
IBC clarifies that respondents must voluntarily provide identifying information like name or email—these are not captured automatically by the form.
Why This Survey Matters
IBC frames the Yearly Pulse Survey as more than just a data-collection exercise. It is designed to:
- Provide a snapshot of business sentiment across sectors
- Highlight structural challenges—such as talent, regulation, infrastructure, or logistics
- Inform strategic planning for both the private sector and government
- Strengthen the voice of business in policy-making and reform discussions
By aggregating responses, IBC aims to produce insights that represent real conditions on the ground, rather than hypothetical or anecdotal feedback.
Call for Broad Participation
IBC encourages companies from all sectors and of all sizes—whether long established or newly operating—to participate. In particular, it aims to ensure inclusion of firms in service, manufacturing, logistics, research, and procurement, among others.
The organization notes that the more diverse the respondent base, the more accurate and actionable the survey results will be. Those results, in turn, can help shape future engagement between private sector stakeholders and policymakers.
What Comes Next
Once the survey closes, IBC will compile responses and issue a public report with aggregated findings. Trends related to sector growth, human resources, regulatory pain points, and investment intentions are expected to feature prominently in the final presentation.
IBC has said that past editions of the survey have informed dialogues with ministries, business associations, and international partners—making this year’s participation especially significant.
