Will Brexit push Cambodia into economic crisis?

As the UK prepares to leave the EU, we look at Brexit's potential effect on Southeast Asian economies.

Cambodia has been one of the best performing economies in the world over the past two decades. But there are threats on the horizon, including the UK's impending exit from the European Union.

The German Development Institute has studied how a no-deal Brexit could affect least developed countries, and it found Cambodians living on the brink of poverty are at risk - that's if the country's garment producers lose access to UK markets.

The country's economy has been largely built on agriculture and textile exports, two sectors it very much relies on. Cambodia's textile industry is a major supplier to the UK fashion industry and it has favourable entry terms under the EU's Everything But Arms (EBA) trade scheme, which unilaterally grants duty- and quota-free access to 49 least developed countries - excluding weapons.
