About the Summit

The National Bank of Cambodia (NBC), the nation's central bank, is the monetary and supervisory authority. The mission of the NBC is to determine and direct the monetary policy aimed at maintaining price stability in order to facilitate economic development within the framework of the kingdom's economic and financial policy. The NBC conducts this in consultation with the Royal Government and in consideration of the framework of the economic and financial policy of the kingdom. As the monetary authority, the NBC is the sole issuer of the Khmer riel, the national currency. In doing so, this helps maintain monetary stability.

As the supervisory authority, the NBC has the authority to license, delicense, regulate and supervise banks and financial institutions in Cambodia. The NBC also conducts regular economic and monetary analysis, publishes various publications, oversees the nation's payment systems, establishes balance of payments, and participates in the management of external debt claims.

The Ministry of Commerce is the government agency responsible for Cambodia’s trade policy, business registration, export promotion and consumer protection. It leads the Kingdom’s international trade agenda, including free trade agreements and regional integration within ASEAN, and oversees implementation of the E-Commerce Law, under which businesses operating through electronic means are licensed. Through this work, the Ministry helps Cambodian enterprises, particularly small and medium-sized businesses, connect to regional and global value chains, in support of the Royal Government’s goal of a competitive, diversified and digitally enabled economy. 

The Ministry of Industry, Science, Technology & Innovation (MISTI) is responsible for guiding the development and governance of industry, science, technology and innovation in Cambodia. Its mandate covers industrial development, support for SMEs and handicrafts, national quality infrastructure and potable water supply, alongside coordinating national efforts to strengthen scientific research and innovative capacity. Working with regional partners, international organisations and the private sector, MISTI drives the policies that position science, technology and innovation at the centre of Cambodia’s path to becoming a high-income country by 2050. 

The Ministry of Post and Telecommunications governs Cambodia’s postal, telecommunications and digital sectors. It sets policy for the country’s digital transformation, including the Digital Economy and Society Policy Framework and the Cambodia Digital Government Policy, which together guide the Kingdom’s ambition to build a digital economy and society. The Ministry works to expand secure, reliable and affordable connectivity across the country, modernise public services through digital government, and strengthen the legal and regulatory foundations that let digital businesses, digital citizens and digital government grow together.
