Background
On 1 October 2026, the Securities and Exchange Regulator of Cambodia hosted a stakeholder meeting on a draft Prakas titled “Approval and Management of Operations in Future Market”.
Participants included representatives from the Cambodia Securities Exchange, the Agricultural and Rural Development Bank of Cambodia, Alpha Group Co., Ltd., securities firms, audit firms, cash settlement agents, custodian agents, and fund management companies.
SERC is the national agency responsible for rule-making and supervision of Cambodia’s securities market, and the agency issues prakas as formal regulatory instruments to set licensing and operational requirements for market participants.
Scope of Application
The draft Prakas is framed around the approval and management of operational activities related to a prospective future market under Cambodia’s securities regime. The attendance of exchanges, banks, broker-dealers, auditors, settlement and custody service providers, and fund managers indicates the draft targets both market operators and supporting market infrastructure firms.
Key Provisions or Decisions
The document under discussion is a draft regulatory instrument (Prakas) whose stated subject is the approval and management of operations in a future market. SERC officials and sector representatives discussed the draft text and implementation considerations during the meeting; no final adoption was recorded in the source announcement.
Implications for Investors, Businesses, or Compliance
Stakeholders that participated in the consultation process include primary market operators and service providers that would be directly affected by any prakas setting approval procedures or operational requirements. Market participants engaged in trading, settlement, custody, audit, or fund management should monitor the prakas’ progress for potential changes to licensing, reporting, and operational compliance obligations.
