Microfinance in Cambodia

Microfinance in Cambodia refers to providing small-scale financial services—such as loans, savings, and insurance—to individuals and small businesses who lack access to traditional banking. It aims to boost economic activity, especially in rural areas, by enabling entrepreneurs and farmers to invest in equipment, crops, or businesses. Microfinance institutions often offer more flexible terms than banks, helping vulnerable populations improve their livelihoods, reduce poverty, and foster local development. This system plays a crucial role in empowering those with limited financial resources to participate more fully in the economy.
