The forum, held at Hyatt Regency Phnom Penh, aimed to share information on financing tools and procedures for applying for funding and understand the financing needs of the private sector in Cambodia. The medium-term Country Financing Framework for non-sovereign financing is expected to be completed by 2024 after comprehensive consultations. The consultation forums aim to guide the direction of each financing institution, aiming to eliminate fragmented and overlapping investments that are inefficient and not aligned with the government's priority agendas.
