The objective of this chapter is to document a pattern of international trade and FDI in Cambodia. First, I start to briefly review the Cambodian economy in recent decades. Second, I describe a recent trend in export and import in goods and illustrate the pattern of exports and imports disaggregated by major partner countries and major commodities. Describing a trend in inward FDI, I also show the pattern of inward FDI disaggregated by major home countries and industrial sectors. As the overall trend in trade and FDI indicates the large role of garments and footwears, I describe the garment and footwear sectors in more detail.
Specifically, I use the Cambodian economic census for 2011 to describe the size of these sectors in manufacturing sectors and the pattern of trade and inward FDI in these sectors.

To gain better understanding of prospects and challenges of AEC, the paper examines whether and how exporters actually respond to tariff preferential schemes of AEC. The core analysis in this paper is an analysis of FTA administrative records of Thailand over the decade ending in 2015. Firms applying AEC preferential schemes were for market access into the original ASEAN members. Products exported under the FTA preferential schemes are highly concentrated, dominated by 4 sectors, i.e. Automotive (both vehicles and auto parts), electrical appliances, petrochemical products, and processed foods. Among ASEAN members, Indonesia had the highest utilization rate, followed by the Philippines and Vietnam. By contrast, Malaysia, another major trading partners of Thailand within ASEAN, recorded rather low utilization rate, i.e. about one-fourth of total export. The high cost of compiling with ROO would explain the low utilization rate to a certain extent. There are also cumbersome in government procedures. The key policy inference is that ROO and their related administrative procedures would be an area where policy makers should pay attention.

This paper examines the role of foreign multinational enterprises (MNEs) have played in Vietnam’s exports in 1995-2014. Economy-wide estimates suggest MNE share of Vietnam’s export grew from about one quarter to about two-thirds during this period. MNE shares of GDP were much smaller (6 to 18 percent); correspondingly export-production ratios were much (4.7 to 9.6 times) higher in MNEs than in the non-MNEs sector. If comparisons are limited to formal enterprises, wholly-foreign MNEs (WFs), which account for the vast majority of MNEs in Vietnam, tend to have relatively high export propensities and account for the vast majority of MNE exports. These data thus suggest that MNEs, and particularly WFs, make unusually large direct contributions to exports in Vietnam compared to other economic activities. On the other hand, these compilations cannot establish how if export propensities differ significantly among ownership groups after accounting for other, related firm-level and industry-level characteristics. Moreover, this paper highlights several substantial problems revealed by compilations of the firm-data which much be addressed before more reliable, rigorous analysis of the firm-level data will be possible.

Japanese outward FDI(OFDI) to East Asia is a source of export-oriented industrialisation in the region, especially for ASEAN member countries. Japanese OFDI increases significantly after the Plaza According 1985, then again peaked at the middle of the 1990’s and plunged after the Asian financial crisis 1997/98, then resurged in the first half of the 2000s. The formation of production networks through Japanese OFDI helps the export-oriented industrialization in East Asia and ASEAN countries, as well as it is a driving force of upgrading industrial structure in the region, a la Flying Geese pattern.
