Cambodia is ranked higher than Vietnam, Thailand, or Malaysia for economic freedom.
In Cambodia investors can set up 100% foreign owned projects and repatriate funds freely. There is no limitation on the nationality of the shareholders or on the portion of the shares held by each partner, with the exception of real property where foreign holders are limited to a 49% stake. (This may change shortly in respect to foreign purchase of condominiums). Licenses are required for investment in insurance, minerals, (including oil and gas), tourism, and telecommunications. Incentives are available under the Law on Investment (1994, amended 2003). Benefits can include inter alia, waivers on import and export duties and tax holidays. Special E    onomic Zones were legislated in 2005. Foreign investors are expected to comply with regulations and laws concerning taxation, labor, and licensing.

Cambodia is a member of WIPO and intellectual property rights are protected. The legal system is still developing and contracts normally contain provisions for foreign arbitration of commercial disputes.
