The event was praised by the delegations of the National Bank of Cambodia, Khmer Enterprise, the Young Entrepreneurs Association of Cambodia, and other honorable guests held on 31 March 2023.
To support the event, ABA Bank’s Chief Small Business Loan Officer Chanrith Sar participated in a panel discussion on “Preparing for Debt Financing”.
