On March 6, 2023, Cambodia issued requirements and procedures for merger and acquisition (M&A) filings to allow the country's competition regulator to monitor the impact of M&A transactions on the Cambodian market. These rules are contained in Sub-decree No. 60 on the Requirements and Procedures for Business Combinations.

This subdecree is the latest in a series of detailed regulations issued to develop Cambodia's competition and antitrust law framework since the 2021 enactment of the Law on Competition, which formally established the Cambodia Competition Commission (CCC), set out the CCC's complaint and investigation procedures, listed prohibited anticompetitive practices, and outlined applicable penalties.
