From 11 September to 14 September 2023, CGCC team led by Mr. Hor Saopiseth, Manager of Centralized Operations of CGCC, visited provincial branches of selected participating financial institutions (PFIs) to discuss with the management and staff of the selected PFIs the implementation of CGCC’s credit guarantee schemes. The selected PFIs in 4 provinces including:

– Kampong Chnang province: ABA Bank and Chamroeun Microfinance

– Pursat province: Prince Bank, Canadia Bank and Chamroeun Microfinance.

– Battambang Province: Prince Bank, FTB Bank, and Maybank

– Pailin Province: LOLC Microfinance, Phillip Bank and ABA Bank.

The discussions with CGCC PFIs’ provincial branches in these 4 potential provinces provided opportunities for both CGCC and PFIs to enhance mutual understanding of credit guarantees and opportunities for PFIs to increase lending to borrowers that lack collateral when requesting loans.
