Cambodia Microfinance Association Continues to Promote Financial Literacy and Develop Human Resources for the Microfinance Sector


The Cambodia Microfinance Association, in collaboration with the Specialized University of Cambodia, held a seminar on “Financial Literacy Programs and Youth Readiness for Professional Careers in the Microfinance Sector” on August 24, 2026, in Siem Reap Province.

On the occasion, the Association shared knowledge and best practices related to personal financial management, financial planning, income and expense management, saving, financial decision-making, and the responsible use of loans. It also provided an overview of Cambodia’s microfinance sector, including the sector’s role and significant contribution to supporting economic activity and social development, and highlighted job and career opportunities in finance.

Through the seminar, students gained knowledge and key insights to strengthen their financial capabilities, prepare for the job market, and better understand career paths and opportunities in the sector. Promoting young people’s knowledge, skills, and professional ethics is a vital foundation for developing a capable, responsible, and professional workforce that can contribute to strengthening and developing Cambodia’s microfinance sector to be more robust and sustainable.
