洪玛奈:柬埔寨2029年如期脱离最不发达国家行列 改革备战贸易优惠退坡

柬埔寨首相洪玛奈10月6日经《高棉时报》表示,柬埔寨仍坚定走在2029年底脱离联合国最不发达国家(LDC)行列的轨道上。他把持续的经济增长、人均收入上升与人类发展指标改善,列为支持这一转型的关键因素。
LDC毕业被柬埔寨政府视为国家发展的重要里程碑,是通向2030年代上中等收入地位、并最终在2050年成为高收入国家的台阶。柬埔寨2003年加入世界贸易组织时即为LDC成员,数十年来成衣、鞋类出口很大程度依靠发达国家给予LDC的关税优惠。
洪玛奈同时坦承,毕业意味着失去部分贸易优惠与优惠融资条件。政府表示已通过改革、提升竞争力、人力资本开发与经济多元化为此做准备,包括推动农产品加工、旅游与数字经济,降低对单一成衣出口的依赖。
同日,柬埔寨与日本还就铁路网络修复与城市轨道系统达成合作优先方向,包括技术研究、实地考察与工作组机制。对在柬经商的华人企业来说,LDC毕业既是成本课题——优惠退坡后出口税负上升,也是信心信号:一个能自我造血的市场,规则与基础设施通常会同步升级。
Hun Manet Says Cambodia Remains on Track to Graduate from Least-Developed Status by 2029
Prime Minister Hun Manet said Cambodia remains firmly on track to graduate from the United Nations' Least Developed Country category by the end of 2029, the Khmer Times reported on October 6. He cited sustained economic growth, rising incomes and improvements in human development indicators as the factors supporting the transition.
The government views LDC graduation as a milestone toward upper-middle-income status and, eventually, high-income status by 2050. Cambodia has been an LDC since joining the World Trade Organization in 2003, and its garment and footwear exports have long relied on tariff preferences granted to least-developed countries.
Hun Manet acknowledged that graduation will mean losing certain trade preferences and concessional financing. The government says it has been preparing through reforms, stronger competitiveness, human capital development and economic diversification, including agro-processing, tourism and the digital economy.
On the same day, Cambodia and Japan agreed to prioritise cooperation on railway network rehabilitation and urban rail systems, with technical studies, site visits and working groups planned. For Chinese businesses in Cambodia, graduation is both a cost question, as preferences fade, and a confidence signal that markets and infrastructure are maturing.
