Phnom Penh, September 23, 2026 — Cambodia’s Digital Economy and Business Committee (DEBC) plans to complete the integration of fundamental services for micro, small and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) into the Cambodia Data Exchange (CamDX) ecosystem by the end of September.
The target was outlined during a working group meeting chaired by Kong Marry, Secretary of State at the Ministry of Economy and Finance (MEF), Secretary-General of the DEBC General Secretariat and chair of the Inter-Ministerial Working Group on E-Services for Business (ESB).
The meeting, held at the DEBC headquarters in Phnom Penh, reviewed progress in integrating government ministries and institutions into the CamDX ecosystem.
Government Targets 100% Service Integration
Kong Marry commended the progress made by ministries and institutions in integrating their services into CamDX and outlined priority actions to ensure the remaining work is completed.
The working group is targeting 100% completion by the end of September 2026.
The integration is intended to make government services more accessible to businesses while improving coordination and data exchange between public institutions.
What Is CamDX?
The Cambodia Data Exchange (CamDX) is a digital data-sharing infrastructure that connects government systems and participating private institutions.
One of its key applications is the online business registration platform, which brings together at least four relevant information systems through a single portal.
Through the platform, business owners can register businesses and obtain relevant operating licences through a more streamlined digital process.
CamDX also enables authorised access to government databases and public services while maintaining controls over data security and ownership.
Supporting MSME Business Registration
The Ministry of Economy and Finance has been facilitating an inter-ministerial working group focused on regulating and simplifying the business registration process for MSMEs.
For smaller businesses, integrating services across government institutions can reduce the need to interact separately with multiple agencies and systems.
The broader objective is to create a more coordinated digital process for business-related government services.
32 Public Sector Members and 55 Private Institutions
The CamDX ecosystem currently connects 32 public-sector members and 55 private institutions, according to the report.
Participating government institutions include:
- Ministry of Commerce
- General Department of Taxation
- Ministry of Labour and Vocational Training
- Ministry of Land Management, Urban Planning and Construction
- Ministry of Tourism
- Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries
- Other public institutions
The participation of private institutions extends the ecosystem beyond government-to-government data exchange and supports broader public-private digital connectivity.
More Government Data Integration Under Consideration
Additional data integration initiatives are also being considered.
The Ministry of Interior is seeking to enable CamDX to verify Cambodian identity-card data against its own system. The objective would be to improve consistency in personal data.
Meanwhile, the Council for the Development of Cambodia (CDC) is seeking to integrate investment data with company registration data.
If implemented, these connections could provide government institutions with more consistent information across business registration, investment and identity-related systems.
More Than 117 Million Transactions
CamDX has processed more than 117 million transactions since its launch in 2020, according to the report.
The platform supports several major digital systems, including:
- E-Services for Business (ESB)
- E-Invoicing
- Social Protection
- General Department of Customs and Excise systems (GTAS)
The transaction volume illustrates the scale at which the digital exchange infrastructure is being used across Cambodia’s public and private sectors.

How CamDX Could Affect Cambodian Businesses
The integration of MSME services into a common digital ecosystem could make interactions with government agencies more streamlined by allowing businesses to access multiple services through connected systems.
For smaller enterprises, the practical value lies in reducing duplication in registration and administrative processes and improving the consistency of information shared among government institutions.
The planned integration of investment data with company registration data could also provide a more connected picture of businesses and investors, while identity-data verification could improve the consistency of personal information used in government services.
However, the supplied report does not provide specific figures on expected reductions in processing time, administrative costs or the number of MSMEs that will directly use each newly integrated service.
Angkor Times Analysis
The planned completion of MSME service integration represents another step in Cambodia’s broader digitalisation of business-government interactions.
The significance of CamDX is not simply the number of transactions it processes. Its broader function is to allow different institutions and systems to exchange information through a shared digital infrastructure.
For MSMEs, this can matter because business administration often involves several government agencies, from company registration and taxation to labour, land, tourism and other sector-specific requirements.
The next stage will be implementation quality. Full technical integration does not automatically guarantee a simpler experience for businesses. The value for MSMEs will ultimately depend on whether connected services are reliable, easy to use, secure and capable of reducing duplicated administrative procedures.
The proposed integration of identity verification and investment data also points toward a more interconnected digital government environment, where authorised information can be reused across services rather than repeatedly submitted by businesses or individuals.
