🚨 AmCham Cambodia Engages with the Ministry of Economy and Finance on New U.S. Tariffs 🚨 Yesterday, AmCham Cambodia, led by President Casey Barnett, CFA, FCCA, had a productive meeting with His Excellency Phan Phalla and his team at the Ministry of Economy and Finance (Cambodia) to discuss the Reciprocal Tariff recently applied by the U.S. Administration to Cambodia. We sincerely appreciate the Royal Government’s willingness to listen to the concerns of our business community in the wake of these new tariffs. Cambodia has a real opportunity to renegotiate a much more preferential trade arrangement with the U.S.—but swift and decisive action is needed. AmCham Cambodia has already issued a formal statement urging an end to these tariffs and calling for reasonable, balanced solutions that address U.S. economic and security concerns while ensuring Cambodia’s continued economic growth. We stand ready to support the Royal Government in these negotiations to safeguard Cambodia’s competitiveness, attract investment, and create jobs. 🤝💼 Casey Barnett, CFA, FCCA (President), Anthony Galliano (Vice President), Devin Barta l AHF Products (Governor), Bora Kem (Governor), Matthew Alexander Pocock (ED) #AmChamCambodia #TradeRelations #CambodiaEconomy #USCambodia #Tariffs #Competitiveness

The American Chamber of Commerce in Cambodia urges reconsideration of and a swift end to the tariffs on Cambodia. We hope trading counterparts will proactively engage and come up with reasonable solutions that can be implemented quickly and decisively to resolve the economic and national security concerns of the United States. AmCham is committed to a positive and productive commercial relationship; and is ready to assist the Royal Government of Cambodia as needed. #AmChamCambodia

AmCham Cambodia at the 2nd Cambodia-USA Public-Private Sector Dialogue On March 26, AmCham Cambodia, led by President Casey Barnett, CFA, FCCA and six Representatives, participated in the second Cambodia-United States Public-Private Sector Dialogue at the Palais du Gouvernement. Together with the Council for the Development of Cambodia, a delegation from the Royal Government of Cambodia led by H.E. Sun Chanthol, and the U.S. Embassy in Cambodia, represented by Chargé d’Affaires Bridgette Walker, we engaged in productive discussions on enhancing the business climate. President Barnett commended the Royal Government of Cambodia for its tangible progress in improving transparency, regulatory clarity, and digital transformation. AmCham members advocated for key reforms, including greater transparency in judicial decisions, equitable market treatment for U.S. automakers, streamlined import permit processes via the National Single Window, revised rooftop solar policies, and wider adoption of digital signatures. As the voice of U.S. business in Cambodia, AmCham remains committed to ensuring our members’ perspectives are heard at the highest levels. We look forward to continued collaboration in fostering a more open and dynamic business environment.
