Cambodia is one of the fastest growing countries in the world. Unexplored and undervalued, international firms such as Starbucks, Samsung and Nike are just now to starting to invest in Cambodia. While many people are off buying stocks and property in places like Thailand, thinking they’ve successfully diversified abroad, they’re missing the far greater opportunities right next door.

 

Don’t get me wrong. I like Thailand and spend much of my time there. But its GDP is only growing at 3% a year – barely higher than the United States. It has an economy which entirely depends on international money, whether it be from tourism or foreign direct investment. Cambodia, in contrast, is growing by over 7% per year. Practically all other countries are revising their GDP growth downwards. Cambodia raises it upwards, exceeding its already high expectations.

 

Not only that, but Cambodia is less correlated with western economies since it’s a frontier market. Diversification is important for investors, right? That’s why I recommend investing in Cambodia. It skipped the Asian Financial Crisis of the 1990s, missed the tech bubble of the early 2000s, and outgrew the more recent recession of 2008. The country hasn’t faced a recession for over 20 years.

Rarely have I come across such an undeniably reliable source of investment advice.  (Bit surprised he didn't mention the rampant corruption in the country, though.  According to Transparency International it's the most corrupt country in ASEAN, and that's saying something.)

It's already a risk to invest in Thailand and some will invest in Cambodia ? Waiting to see they whining on the forum...

Interesting to me that such advice would be sought on an expat forum.

The rampant corruption in Cambodia puts any investment into the highest risk category. You better be getting a lot more than 7% to make this investment worthwhile and then only if you can afford to lose entire investment.
