Sihanoukville Provincial Television, September 16 — Cambodian media report that the government will officially announce the 2026 minimum wage on September 17, 2025, for labour-intensive industries including garments, footwear, travel goods and bags. The government will make the final decision following consultations between worker and employer representatives.
Unions had sought a US$10 increase from the current US$208 wage, while employers wanted it unchanged. National Trade Union Coalition chairman 法沙利 said worker representatives understood the economic conditions and international competition, accepted that the government would make the final decision, and hoped it would balance workers’ basic living needs with economic development.
法沙利 added that workers understood the challenges facing the government and investors, particularly the importance of attracting investment and creating jobs. Whatever the final wage, he said workers hoped for reasonable, sustainable policies supporting the economy and workforce.
