Cambodia Investment Review
LOLC Cambodia has continued its nationwide push to improve financial literacy, training nearly 5,000 people across the country during the third quarter of 2025 as part of its ongoing social responsibility and inclusion efforts.
Expanding Financial Education Across Communities
As one of Cambodia’s largest financial institutions, LOLC Cambodia has spent more than three decades providing financial services aimed at supporting families, entrepreneurs, and individuals. Alongside its commercial operations, the company has strengthened its focus on social impact through sustained community education programs.
Between July and September 2025, the institution’s Sustainability Management team conducted 265 financial literacy training sessions across its branch network, reaching 4,822 participants — of which 3,707 were women. The sessions were held in both urban and rural areas and designed to help participants make better financial decisions.
The training covered essential topics such as personal financial management, income and expense tracking, savings strategies, cash flow management, and responsible borrowing. These efforts align with the National Bank of Cambodia’s broader strategy to promote inclusive financial services and reduce the risks of excessive debt.
Continued Growth in Financial Literacy Efforts
LOLC Cambodia’s commitment to financial education has steadily increased in recent years. In 2023, the company conducted 241 sessions nationwide, reaching 4,428 participants, including 3,490 women. The following year, the number of sessions rose to 318, training 6,264 people, with women representing nearly three-quarters of participants.
The institution said the upward trend reflects its dedication to empowering customers and community members with practical financial knowledge, particularly in managing household budgets, improving savings habits, and making more informed loan decisions.
Supporting Rural and Underserved Communities
LOLC Cambodia has emphasized reaching remote and underserved areas, where access to financial education remains limited. By conducting in-person sessions at community centers, village halls, and local branches, the company aims to equip participants with tools to manage their finances effectively and avoid over-indebtedness.
Through these initiatives, LOLC Cambodia continues to position itself as both a financial service provider and a development partner, supporting Cambodia’s goal of building a more financially literate and resilient population.
The company said it remains committed to expanding its financial literacy programs in the coming quarters, ensuring that more Cambodians — particularly women and rural entrepreneurs — can gain the skills needed to manage money responsibly and achieve long-term financial stability.
