NBC urges shift to Khmer Riel for salary payments Chea Serey, Governor of the National Bank of Cambodia (NBC), called upon businesses in the Kingdom to prioritize paying staff salaries in Khmer Riel (KHR) over the US dollar (USD), especially in industries like garment, textile, and footwear. Speaking at the '44th Anniversary of the Riel's Reintroduction' event, Governor Serey highlighted the benefits of KHR payments for local workers and noted the partnership with the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) to study the impact of increasing KHR usage in these industries. Despite most Cambodian workers being paid in USD, their daily expenses are mainly in KHR, causing inefficiencies in money exchange. The study revealed workers' willingness to receive salaries in KHR, prompting Serey to encourage companies to adopt KHR payments. NBC also promotes digital payments in KHR through the Bakong system, experiencing a significant increase in transactions in recent years. Serey emphasized the importance of strengthening national sovereignty by increasing KHR usage and urged all stakeholders to contribute to this effort. (Source: Khmer Times)
