Cambodia's Garment Industry - Origins and Future Prospects

Omar Bargawi

No 13, Working Papers from Economics and Statistics Analysis Unit (ESAU), Overseas Development Institute

Abstract: The paper, written largely before Multi-Fibre Agreement (MFA) quotas on developing country exports of textiles and garments were removed on 31 December 2004, argues that Cambodia’s garment industry is well placed to withstand the increase in competition in its export markets that quota removal has brought. This conclusion is highly significant for the Cambodian economy, over 80% of whose exports now consist of garments.
