Govt aims to raise $200mn from issuing sovereign bonds in 2023 The Ministry of Economy and Finance plans to issue several tranches of sovereign bonds in 2023, with the first scheduled at an undisclosed date later this month.

Ministry's spokesman Meas Soksensan said the new $200mn offering is independent of last year's $300mn target issuance. (Source: Phnom Penh Post)

NBC announces new mechanisms and conditions for purchasing NCD The National Bank of Cambodia has announced the change in the mechanisms and conditions of purchasing Negotiable Certificate of Deposits (NCD) to provide banks and microfinance institutions (MFIs) with more benefits, said bankers. According to Sok Voeun, Chairman of Cambodia Microfinance Association (CMA), the current mechanisms and conditions pre-defines the interest rate for buyers to make decisions and consideration for bidding, while the revised ones will be determined by the market demand and supply. He said the new NCD purchase mechanisms and conditions will better fit with the market condition and better operational control of the process as the interest rate will come from the demand and supply itself, which enables the NBC to understand well the market interest rate on this financial instrument. The NBC announced that it is going to run an auction once every two weeks for all types of NCDs instead of posting or announcing NCDs every week and the new method will be valid for NCDs issued in Khmer riel and US dollar for all maturities from February 1, 2023, onward.
