Cambodia’s Regional Connectivity
Cambodia’s export-driven growth has resulted in increased freight demand. Containerized import and export cargo movement has increased more than five-fold over the past 12 years. By 2030, it is expected that trade volumes moving along highways and through ports, airports, and warehouses will double. However, high transport and logistics costs are major bottlenecks to Cambodia’s economic competitiveness and diversification. The Royal Government of Cambodia (RGC) developed the Comprehensive Intermodal Transport and Logistics System (CITLS) Master Plan for 2023–2033 to support improving the performance and efficiency of the transport sector and supporting the achievement of the national development objectives as defined in the RGC’s Pentagonal Strategy Phase 1. However, many of the projects put forward in the CITLS are in the conceptual phase requiring further technical studies and prioritization prior to securing financing from the public and private sectors. This report prepared by the World Bank team aims to complement the RGC’s efforts by focusing on immediate investments and policy actions to unlock opportunities along the existing transport corridors in Cambodia. The analysis and proposals described in this report focus on the short to medium-term priorities. By providing alternative insights on the role and performance of the existing roads, waterways and maritime transport, railways, and cross-border trade facilitation the report is designed to complement the CITLS. Throughout the course of this study, stakeholder consultations were conducted with involved public sector institutions and major private sector players in freight transportation and logistics.

| Summary: | Cambodia’s export-driven growth has
resulted in increased freight demand. Containerized import
and export cargo movement has increased more than five-fold
over the past 12 years. By 2030, it is expected that trade
volumes moving along highways and through ports, airports,
and warehouses will double. However, high transport and
logistics costs are major bottlenecks to Cambodia’s
economic competitiveness and diversification. The Royal
Government of Cambodia (RGC) developed the Comprehensive
Intermodal Transport and Logistics System (CITLS) Master Plan
for 2023–2033 to support improving the performance and
efficiency of the transport sector and supporting the
achievement of the national development objectives as
defined in the RGC’s Pentagonal Strategy Phase 1. However,
many of the projects put forward in the CITLS are in the
conceptual phase requiring further technical studies and
prioritization prior to securing financing from the public
and private sectors. This report prepared by the World Bank
team aims to complement the RGC’s efforts by focusing on
immediate investments and policy actions to unlock
opportunities along the existing transport corridors in
Cambodia. The analysis and proposals described in this
report focus on the short to medium-term priorities. By
providing alternative insights on the role and performance
of the existing roads, waterways and maritime transport,
railways, and cross-border trade facilitation the report is
designed to complement the CITLS. Throughout the course of
this study, stakeholder consultations were conducted with
involved public sector institutions and major private sector
players in freight transportation and logistics. |
