Background
The Securities and Exchange Regulator of Cambodia (SERC) issues authorizations that permit firms to operate as intermediaries for government bond transactions under the country’s securities regulatory framework. SERC maintains a public register of licensed securities firms and authorized intermediaries on its official website.
SERC posted a notification on 2 June 2026 stating that it has authorized Yanta (Cambodia) Co., Ltd., located at Emerald Building, 4th floor, No.64 (corner of Street 178), Preah Norodom Blvd, Chamkarmon District, Phnom Penh, to act as a government bond intermediary. The regulator directs market participants to its online list for the full roster of licensed firms and for verification of authorized activities.
Scope of Application
The authorization applies to corporate entities seeking to provide intermediation services in government bond transactions, including placement and distribution functions subject to SERC oversight. Market participants engaging a firm for bond trading or placement should confirm the firm’s authorization status through SERC’s published list.
Key Provisions or Decisions
SERC’s decision grants Yanta (Cambodia) Co., Ltd. the specific permission to function as an intermediary in the government bond market; the public announcement lists the company’s registered address. SERC provides a consolidated register of all firms that have received licences or authorizations at: https://www.serc.gov.kh/khmer/m52.php?pn=6.
Implications for Investors, Businesses, or Compliance
Investors and institutional clients should verify intermediary authorizations against SERC’s online registry before transacting in government bonds. Financial firms wishing to offer bond intermediation services must obtain SERC authorization and ensure their public disclosures and business addresses align with the regulator’s records.
