As of January 1, 2021, Cambodia’s monthly minimum wage rate for regular workers is US$192, an increase from US$190 in 2020. The rate for probationary workers is set at US$187 per month.
The minimum wage is only applicable to workers in the textile, garment, and footwear industries, which contribute to more than 80 percent of exports.
This hike is the lowest since the minimum wage was unchanged between 2010 and 2013, with the government attributing this to the impact caused by the pandemic and the partial withdrawal of the EBA.
