中新社金边8月25日电柬埔寨财经部在最新发布的报告中，将该国2025年经济增长预期由年初的6.3%下 调至5%。 财经部报告指出，柬埔寨和泰国陆地边境关闭以及美国关税措施成为今年柬国经济增长放缓的主要因 素。在此之前，柬埔寨经济增长的乐观前景得益于出口导向型行业的持续强劲表现、旅游业的稳定增长 以及农业部门的稳定扩张。 此间媒体当地时间25日援引柬埔寨财经部报告指出，柬泰陆地边境关闭导致该国制造业活动受阻，原材 料运输及出口业务受限，并抑制国际游客的正常流动。 另一方面，美国加征关税的措施也阻碍了支撑柬埔寨经济的关键行业增长，尤其是纺织服装、家具、轮 胎和电子组件等产品，这将导致该国工业整体增长趋势低于预期。 柬埔寨财经部报告称，2025年该国工业整体预计增长7.1%，服务业增长3.8%，农业增长0.9%，建筑业 继续温和复苏，旅游业表现出较强韧性。值得指出的是，今年柬埔寨对欧盟、中国等其他市场的出口预 计将继续保持良好态势。(完) （文章来源：中国新闻网） ...
