Cambodia in the Asian GPR Index

Data through 2 November 2026 · Explore the full Asian GPR Index

In October 2026, the Asian GPR Index for Cambodia stood at 55.4, which is below its long-run norm (about 45% lower than the 2000–2019 average). The 90-day average of 64.1 is higher than 10% of all 90-day periods since 2000. Since 2000, the highest monthly reading was 169.5 in January 2014. Over the last 90 days, 17.3% of Cambodia's news-event coverage reported conflict or threat, ranking 36 of 50 countries in Asia on this cross-country comparable measure.

Monthly average of Cambodia's own GPR index (2000–2019 average = 100), 1985 to 2026. Dashed line = the country's own baseline of 100. Early years rest on thinner news coverage and are noisier.

What the numbers mean

• Asian GPR Index: built from the GDELT Event Database (1979–). The index is Cambodia's own GPR index (2000–2019 average = 100): 150 means risk coverage 50% above Cambodia's own normal. The conflict share is the share of Cambodia's news-event coverage that reports conflict or threat, and it is the series to use for comparing countries.

All indices follow the geopolitical-risk definition of Caldara and Iacoviello (2022): the threat, realization and escalation of wars, terrorism and tensions between states and political actors. The full construction is on the methodology page.
