Скачать или смотреть How Could a US Rate Cut Boost Cambodia’s Growth?

December 2025 marked a turning point when the US Federal Reserve cut interest rates by 0.25 percent, bringing them to the lowest level in three years. This decision, made in Washington, quickly lifted global market confidence and sent a positive signal across economies worldwide.

In the United States, stock markets reacted with optimism, liquidity increased, and investors began looking again toward growth opportunities. That momentum soon reached Southeast Asia, including Cambodia.

In Phnom Penh, the Cambodia Securities Exchange reflected this renewed confidence. From early to mid December, most listed companies recorded gains, investor participation increased, and a newly listed company delivered a strong market debut. These signals point to growing trust in Cambodia’s capital market at a time when global financial conditions are becoming more supportive.

So why does a US rate cut matter so much for Cambodia? Lower US interest rates usually reduce global borrowing costs. This encourages spending, trade, and investment. For Cambodia, that means stronger demand for exports such as garments, footwear, and agricultural products, along with improved access to capital for businesses and investors.

Financial experts explain that lower borrowing costs leave households and companies with more disposable income. Over time, this can drive higher consumption, new investments, job creation, and a stronger stock market, although the full impact will take time to develop.

Despite global political debates around central bank independence, the immediate effect is clear. The US rate cut offers Cambodia a financial lift and strengthens investor confidence.
