Cambodia Investment Review
A ceremonial bell rang out in Phnom Penh on March 31, marking a renewed push to address structural barriers limiting women’s participation in Cambodia’s financial markets, as regulators, listed companies, and development partners gathered for the country’s second annual “Ring the Bell for Gender Equality” event.
Held at Sofitel Phnom Penh Phokeethra, the event was organized by the Securities and Exchange Regulator of Cambodia (SERC), the Cambodia Securities Exchange (CSX), the Australian Government, and UN Women. It forms part of a global initiative spanning more than 114 stock exchanges, aimed at advancing women’s economic participation and leadership.
While the event signaled broad-based support for gender equality, discussions focused on persistent gaps in access to finance, procurement systems, and investment opportunities that continue to limit the role of women in Cambodia’s growing capital markets.
