Phnom Penh:National Bank of Cambodia Governor H.E. Dr. Chea Serey met with a delegation from Habitat for Humanity International to explore opportunities for enhancing cooperation on affordable housing finance and financial inclusion in Cambodia.

According to Agence Kampuchea Presse, the meeting took place at the central bank's Wat Phnom headquarters, with the Habitat for Humanity International (HFHI) delegation led by CEO Mr. Jonathan T. M. Reckford. The delegation shared their experience in providing technical assistance and supporting financial institutions in developing housing credit products aimed at improving living conditions and sanitation for low-income families.

Both parties emphasized the importance of collaboration among stakeholders to foster sustainable housing finance that aligns with the Royal Government of Cambodia's development priorities. H.E.
