As of February this year, listed companies in Cambodia have successfully raised a total of USD 475 million from the capital market, according to H.E. Hong Sok Hour, CEO of the Cambodia Securities Exchange (CSX).

During his address at the ACLEDA Bank subordinated bond listing ceremony on February 24, H.E. Hong announced that CSX currently features 24 listed companies, comprising 11 equity securities and 13 debt securities.

Looking ahead, he expressed optimism about the market’s growth potential, stating that more companies are expected to join the exchange in 2025.

In 2024, the market saw an average daily trading volume of around USD 130,000, primarily driven by retail investors, indicating an increasing interest in securities trading. The Securities and Exchange Regulator of Cambodia is optimistic for the year ahead, projecting at least six additional companies to be listed.

H.E. Hean Sahib, Secretary of State of the Ministry of Economy and Finance and Chairman of the Cambodia Securities Exchange emphasized the government’s commitment to developing the capital market through financial innovation and new investment products.

“The Cambodia Securities Exchange is not just a source of financing for companies; it also provides significant passive income opportunities for investors,” he noted.

He underscored the role of debt securities in supporting economic stability and growth, helping to reduce reliance on foreign loans, and enhancing government financing options for essential infrastructure and long-term development projects.

This positive trajectory in the capital market signals a promising future for investors and companies alike in Cambodia’s evolving financial landscape.
