Cambodia: Net domestic credit (current LCU)

Key figures

What the numbers say

In 2025, Cambodia's net domestic credit (current LCU) rose 5.1% on 2024 (from 214.04 trillion to 224.95 trillion).

Across the 30 yearly changes before that (1995 to 2024), the average change was +24.5% and a typical year strayed about 17% from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 1.1 standard deviations below that average, so it was larger than a typical year, though not out of the range seen before.

On record, the biggest yearly rise was 70.9% in 2007 and the biggest yearly fall was 3.8% in 2001. The numbers show how large and when, not why; for the cause, look at what happened in that country in those years.

From 2016 to 2025 the straight-line trend is upward, about 21.11 trillion a year. A straight line explains 96% of the movement over 10 observed years.

Worked out from the yearly values above. How the checks work: standard deviation, z-scores and straight-line trends.

A straight-line projection, tested first

Extending that straight line gives about 294.25 trillion for 2028. We show this only because the same method, fitted on earlier years, predicted 2023 to 2025 better than "no change" would have: its average miss was 10.23 trillion, against 14.98 trillion for assuming no change. Treat it as a continuation of the recent pattern, not a forecast of events: it cannot see a recession, a policy change or a revision to the data.
