[Khmer Times]: The Cambodia Securities Exchange (CSX) has granted in-principle approval to LOLC (Cambodia) Plc for bond listing, marking a key step toward the company’s potential entry into Cambodia’s growing capital market.

According to a CSX press release, the approval follows an eligibility review and represents a preliminary stage in the bond listing process. Before the securities can be officially listed and traded on the exchange, LOLC (Cambodia) Plc must obtain approval for the public offering from the Securities and Exchange Regulator of Cambodia (SERC) and fulfil additional listing requirements set by the CSX.

The company is the first institution in 2026 to receive in-principle approval on public bond listing eligibility review, reflecting continued momentum in Cambodia’s domestic bond market.

Industry observers said the move highlights increasing confidence among financial institutions in raising capital through the Kingdom’s securities market, which has gradually expanded beyond equity listings in recent years.

LOLC (Cambodia) Plc has operated in Cambodia since 2015 as a microfinance deposit-taking institution and currently maintains a network of 83 branches across the country.
