The Declining Profitability Trend in Cambodia's Banks: The Impact of Rising Costs and NPLs
Cambodia’s banking sector is facing declining profitability amid higher funding costs, slower loan growth, and rising NPLs. While macro pressures persist, banks can stabilize performance through tighter cost control, improved credit risk management, and disciplined growth, particularly in personal lending portfolios.
Strategic Growth through Programmatic M&A of Small to Medium-Sized Companies in Southeast Asia
In Southeast Asia’s complex markets, programmatic M&A offers a flexible alternative to slow organic expansion and high-risk large deals. By pursuing smaller, repeat acquisitions, companies can enter markets faster, build local capabilities, and manage risk, provided strong sourcing, diligence, and integration discipline are in place.
Supply Chain Finance in Southeast Asia
As Southeast Asia’s supply chains evolve under China+1 strategies, working capital constraints are intensifying. Supply chain finance offers a way to unlock liquidity, support suppliers, and strengthen resilience through buyer-led programs and digital platforms. Regulatory alignment and greater SME awareness can further drive adoption.
