Cambodia Investment Review
ACLEDA Bank has announced plans to significantly bolster its capital reserves, with a commitment to raise at least $1.2 billion in 2025. This move aligns with the bank’s strategy to support its medium- and long-term business plans and further stimulate economic growth across Cambodia.
Dr. In Channy, President and Group Managing Director of ACLEDA Bank, emphasized that 2025 is expected to be a pivotal year for the institution. “We anticipate strong growth this year, supported by our robust efforts and the government’s commitment to fostering economic expansion and attracting investment,” he said.
Increased Capital to Drive Sectoral Growth
The capital injection, which represents a threefold increase compared to the previous year, will be allocated to support the bank’s operations and key economic sectors. Priority will be given to agriculture, retail, and services, as well as to initiatives supporting first-time homebuyers.

“Agriculture remains a national priority and a core focus for ACLEDA Bank, given its alignment with national policy and the sector’s role in employing over 30% of the workforce,” Dr. Channy stated. Beyond agriculture, ACLEDA will extend loans to bolster retail and service industries, further contributing to Cambodia’s economic resilience.
Strategic Vision for 2025
Dr. Channy highlighted two main drivers for declaring 2025 a landmark year for ACLEDA Bank’s operations: the proactive efforts of the private sector and the Cambodian government’s support for economic growth and investment.
“With this increased capital, we aim to enable sustained growth in key sectors while ensuring our medium- and long-term business strategies are well-supported,” he added.
The move reflects ACLEDA Bank’s continued leadership in Cambodia’s banking sector and its role in fostering economic development through strategic investment. The significant funding boost underscores its commitment to contributing to the country’s growth and supporting businesses and individuals in achieving their goals.
This expansion positions ACLEDA Bank as a key player in supporting Cambodia’s growing economy in 2025 and beyond.
