At the end of the second quarter of 2025, Cambodia's public debt reached a total of $12.67 billion, with 99% of that figure consisting of external public debt. This marks a notable increase from the end of 2024, when the total debt stock stood at $12.03 billion.
New Loans and Government Assurances
The Ministry of Economy and Finance reported that in the first half of 2025, Cambodia signed new concessional loan agreements valued at over $196 million. Despite this rising debt, the Cambodian government maintains that the country's public debt remains manageable.
Economic experts also weigh in on the situation, suggesting that Cambodia's debt level is still lower than that of many other countries. While the total public debt is growing, officials and analysts appear confident that it remains within a sustainable range, but its continued rise is being closely monitored.
