This paper begins with background information and summary statistics on FDI in Cambodia, followed by an assessment of the country's technical readiness for technological innovation. Building technical capacity in Cambodia will likely require the coordination and absorption of foreign technical knowledge. The analysis then delves into the relationship between FDI and data policies such as privacy laws, data transfer agreements, and cybersecurity standards. A comparative analysis of Cambodia’s data policies with those of other ASEAN countries and select East Asian nations highlights areas where improvements to Cambodia’s laws can be made.
