This brief provides a concise summary of Cambodia's digital trade policy profile, benchmarked against the regional average based on data from 21 Asia-Pacific economies included in the ESCAP-ECA-ECLAC Regional Digital Trade Integration Index, version 2 (RDTII 2.0).

It highlights that Cambodia is generally among the economies with low regulatory compliance costs for cross-border digital trade. Compared to the group average, based on data up to 2023, Cambodia’s digital trade policies related to cross-border data policies, public procurement, and non-technical non-tariff measures (NTMs) on ICT goods and services are relatively enabling. However, compliance costs are relatively high concerning policies on tariffs and trade defence on ICT goods, intellectual property rights, and domestic data protection and privacy. Additionally, it highlights new policy measures, proposals related to digital trade, and Cambodia’s participation in trade negotiations involving digital trade.
