Asian Development Bank: Cambodia needs industry transformation to boost garment, tourism sectors


CAMBODIA, Jan 21 (Phnom Pehn Post/ANN) - A study conducted by the Asian Development Bank (ADB) recommended that Cambodia develop industry transformation maps in key sectors to enable transitions under the fourth industrial revolution (4IR). This should be accompanied by adequate investment in skills development for new and repositioned jobs.

A report titled Reaping the Benefits of Industry 4.0 through Skills Development in Cambodia was released on January 20 and examined the local garment and tourism industries – as the top two industries in terms of national employment, they are important drivers for growth and international competitiveness.
