AKP Phnom Penh, January 15, 2026 --

The Cambodia Securities Exchange (CSX) continued to demonstrate resilience in 2025 despite numerous challenges, including regional tensions that affected Cambodia’s economy, infrastructure, tourism, and other key sectors.

“Ironically, the Cambodia Securities Exchange (CSX) in 2025 did not appear to have experienced negative fluctuations. Instead, CSX continued to maintain its resilience despite these challenges,” CSX said in a report issued on Jan. 14.

According to the report, 2025 ended with a steady increase in the number of newly opened accounts, while the number of active investors remained high, reflecting strong investor interest and confidence in the Cambodian securities market.

The number of newly opened accounts reached 14,504 in 2025, an increase of 13.8 percent compared to 2024.

Average daily trading value exceeded KHR 435 million (approximately US$108,000). Supported by sustained investor confidence, the CSX Index rose to 423.06 points, up 2.5 percent year-on-year.

Foreign investment also showed gradual growth throughout the year. In December alone, trading by foreign investors accounted for 40.16 percent of total market trading. During 2025, foreign investors purchased approximately 5.42 million shares and sold about 5.44 million shares, indicating that foreign investors remained engaged in Cambodia’s capital market despite global economic uncertainties.

In terms of listings, CSX welcomed a new equity issuer, Picasso City Garden Development Plc., which was listed on Dec. 10, 2025, becoming the 12th company to list equity securities on the exchange.

Meanwhile, the bond market recorded notable progress, with four companies raising a combined total of approximately US$308 million. Among them was Daun Penh Agrion, which raised funds on Dec. 30, 2025 and is expected to be officially listed in January 2026.

CSX described this development as unprecedented for Cambodia’s securities market, highlighting the exchange’s growing role as a sustainable source of financing.

“These indicators clearly demonstrate that CSX continues to maintain stability and earn the trust and support of both domestic and foreign investors, regardless of circumstances,” the report stated.

“Investing in the Cambodia Securities Market not only creates an additional source of income for investors, but also contributes to promoting the growth of Cambodia’s national economy,” it added.

The Cambodia Securities Exchange is a joint venture between the Royal Government of Cambodia, which holds 55 percent of the shares, and the Korea Exchange, which owns the remaining 45 percent.

To date, CSX has 26 listed companies, comprising 12 equity-listed companies and 14 bond-listed companies, which together have raised approximately US$654 million from the market.
