US EditionCambodia turns to Singapore, Malaysia for fuel as Vietnam, China restrict supplies
Cambodia increased fuel imports from Singapore and Malaysia by 25% year-on-year amid export bans from Vietnam, China, and Thailand, with a third of stations closed since last week.
- Energy Minister Keo Rottanak told Reuters on Mar 18 that Cambodia is importing more fuel from Singapore and Malaysia to offset shortfalls from Vietnam and China.
- Faced with regional export limits, Vietnam and China have restricted fuel exports until at least end-March, and those limits are compounded by squeezed global availability linked to the US-Israeli war on Iran, Energy Minister Keo Rottanak said.
- Trade figures indicate gasoline and diesel exports from Singapore and Malaysia in the first 18 days of this month were 25 per cent higher than last year, according to Kpler.

- Despite some shielding from renewables, Rottanak said Cambodia is not yet 100 per cent insulated and urged faster ASEAN interconnection grids, giving no specifics on supplies from Singapore and Malaysia.
