https://www.rhtlawcambodia.com/ 01/06 MONTHLY LEGAL UPDATE AUGUST 2024 I. OVERVIEW In August 2024, the Royal Government of Cambodia (“RGC”) continued to develop the country’s business regulatory environment. Below are some key regulations to be highlighted in this Monthly Legal Update: Sub-decree No. 194 on the Organization and Functioning of the National Committee on Trade Remedies; Prakas No. 044 on Rules and Guidelines for Reinsurance; Prakas No. 525 on the Abrogation of Prakas No.
In an emerging market such as Cambodia, the process of exiting the market, such as dissolving a subsidiary and company deregistration, can be difficult to navigate. A notable issue is when a company is registered with the Ministry of Commerce (“”) but that is not reflected on the online MOC official database.
As business and commerce becomes increasingly cross-border in nature, it is important for businesses to have knowledge of restructuring and insolvency regimes of foreign jurisdictions. This is particularly relevant in the Southeast Asia region, given the close connection and links amongst the Southeast Asian states.
