Background
The Trust Regulator convened a dissemination seminar on 12 June 2026 at the Non-Bank Financial Services Authority headquarters to present two prakas concerning dispute resolution in the trust sector; the event was presided over by H.E. Sok Dara, Director General of the Trust Regulator. Two prakas govern the structure and procedures for dispute resolution in Cambodia’s trust sector.
The seminar targeted trustees, trustee operators and other relevant persons to clarify the organizational arrangements and procedural steps set out by the new instruments. The Trust Regulator is the authority that manages, supervises and develops the trust sector in Cambodia.
Scope of Application
The prakas apply to actors operating under the trust regulatory framework, specifically trustees, trustee operators and persons involved in trust administration. The instruments are intended for entities and individuals engaged in trust management and the resolution of complaints or disputes arising from trust administration.
Key Provisions or Decisions
Two titled prakas were the focus of the seminar: one on the “Organization and Functioning of the Trust Dispute Resolution Council” and one on “Dispute Resolution in the Trust Sector.” The documents set out the institutional arrangements for a Trust Dispute Resolution Council and procedural measures for handling disputes within the trust sector, as presented by the Trust Regulator during the seminar.
Implications for Investors, Businesses, or Compliance
Relevant market participants should expect formalized procedures for filing and managing trust-sector complaints and disputes and should incorporate the prakas’ procedural requirements into their compliance practices. The Trust Regulator presented the prakas as measures aimed at ensuring efficiency, accountability, and compliance with applicable laws and regulations for entities active in the trust sector.
