The result confirmed that FDI and LS are significant and positively contributed to the GDP growth of Cambodia with almost 100% confident interval or probability of 0.02%, and the ODA was evidently insignificant and also negatively impacted on the economic growth of Cambodia. The researcher also suggested for further researches in order to clarify the lapses of this study.
