The CNFE is expected to introduce a domestic commodity derivatives market, strengthening Cambodia’s financial market infrastructure and supporting institutional trading activity. It is intended to provide tools for price discovery and risk management for export-oriented sectors where local hedging instruments remain limited, while facilitating greater integration with regional trading and investment activity across Southeast Asia.

“Cambodia engages with partners from around the world in a spirit of openness and collaboration,” said His Excellency Neak Oknha Ly Kunthai, Chairman of the Cambodian National Futures Exchange. “We have introduced strategic investors and established deep partnerships with institutions such as Abaxx Technologies and the Hainan International Commodity Exchange. This ‘Cambodia-initiated, globally enabled’ model of cooperation not only safeguards Cambodia’s sovereignty over its national financial market infrastructure but also enables the full integration of capital, technology, operational expertise, and market resources from international partners.”

“Cambodia remains committed to fostering an open, transparent, and internationally connected market environment,” said H.E. Mr. Sou Socheat, Director General of SERC. “In working with partners such as Abaxx Technologies, we are able to combine advanced market infrastructure technology, global commodity market expertise, and international best practices with Cambodia’s national development priorities. The Royal Government of Cambodia’s Pentagonal Strategy emphasizes economic diversification, competitiveness, and resilience. These priorities are reflected in Cambodia’s continued efforts to systematically develop its financial markets, strengthen market infrastructure, and promote the adoption of fintech, sustainable finance, and emerging technologies. This model of collaboration is therefore fully aligned with Cambodia’s broader national strategy. It supports the development of modern and trusted financial market infrastructure, while ensuring that Cambodia maintains sovereign oversight, regulatory integrity, and long-term strategic alignment.”
