IFC Pledges Strategic Support for Green Financing and Infrastructure Development in Cambodia

Deputy Prime Minister Sun Chanthol and IFC Regional Director Keiko Miwa align on bolstering macroeconomic resilience and sustainable investment opportunities

The International Finance Corporation (IFC) has reaffirmed its steadfast commitment to supporting “Green Financing” and large-scale infrastructure development in Cambodia. This pledge is part of a broader strategic cooperation designed to stimulate green investment and maintain economic stability within an increasingly complex global environment.

The framework for this partnership was discussed during a key diplomatic session on February 6, 2026, where His Excellency Sun Chanthol, Deputy Prime Minister and First Vice-Chairman of the Council for the Development of Cambodia (CDC), met with Ms. Keiko Miwa, the IFC Regional Director for Southeast Asia and the Pacific. Their conversation centered on expanding Cambodia’s investment landscape and exploring practical solutions to strengthen the nation’s macroeconomic resilience, ensuring that development progress remains both durable and sustainable.

Throughout the meeting, both leaders exchanged in-depth views on the current economic climate and the continuous shifts in global trade patterns. Ms. Keiko Miwa underscored that the IFC is dedicated to providing the necessary financial and technical backing for critical infrastructure projects, particularly those that prioritize environmental responsibility. By focusing on these high-impact sectors, the collaboration aims to enhance Cambodia’s competitive edge while fostering a greener, more resilient future for the Kingdom’s economy.

Recently, a delegation from the International Finance Corporation (IFC) also met with the Ministry of Public Works and Transport to promote progress on the Sihanoukville Logistics Center project. (Read more)
