Background
The Non‑Bank Financial Services Authority (FSA) presented a draft proclamation to establish a FinTech development and innovation network under its institutional mandate. The proposed network is designed to connect stakeholders operating with financial technology across government ministries, regulators, and non‑bank private‑sector actors to support an integrated FinTech ecosystem.
On 19 June 2026, the FinTech Center of the FSA convened a technical‑level meeting chaired with the approval of H.E. Mey Van (Secretary of State and General Secretary of the FSA) and led by H.E. So Sophea (head of the FinTech Center). Mr. Ken Chantha, Deputy Head of the FinTech Center, presented the draft proclamation and the meeting counted approximately 30 leaders and officials from directorates and units under the FSA.
Scope of Application
As presented, the draft proclamation targets the range of actors engaged in financial technology activities within the national governance framework, including directorates and units subordinate to the FSA and non‑bank private‑sector participants. The presentation framed the network as a platform for interaction among stakeholders operating with FinTech across the whole government and non‑bank ecosystem.
Key Provisions or Decisions
The meeting presentation outlined the core components and agenda items of the draft proclamation as follows (items stated by the presenter):
- Objectives and rationale for the network (សាវតារ)
- Governance arrangements and coordination mechanisms (សនិទានកម្ម)
- Documentation of experiences and innovation practices (បទពិសោធនិងឧត្តមានុវត្តន៍)
- Main contents of the draft proclamation (ខ្លឹមសារសេចក្តីព្រាងប្រកាស)
- Significance and intended functions of the network (សារៈសំខាន់នៃបណ្តាញ)
- Discussion points raised by participants (កិច្ចពិភាក្សា)
- Proposed next steps and work directions (ទិសដៅការងារបន្ត)
Implications for Investors, Businesses, or Compliance
The presentation identified coordination and stakeholder engagement as primary system‑level functions of the proposed network, with an emphasis on developing a living FinTech ecosystem under FSA oversight. Entities currently active in FinTech or seeking to provide non‑bank financial technology services are explicitly part of the network’s targeted participant set as presented by the FinTech Center.
Formal adoption of the proclamation would create an institutional reference for how the FSA organises multi‑stakeholder interaction on FinTech matters; the meeting established a record of the draft’s intended scope and the immediate administrative actors responsible for drafting and consultation.
