"During my tenure as Minister of Economy and Finance, we placed great emphasis on building the financial sector and re-creating a vibrant and inclusive banking system. At that time, I believed financial inclusion would become the backbone of our future financial sector. I have not been disappointed, and we re-doubled efforts in that direction.
This book traces the recent growth of the Cambodia's inclusive financial sector and tells the story of the increasing strength and prominence of Cambodia's leading bank, nationally and within the region.
I also invite you to read the prequel to this book, When There was No Money. It tells a wonderful story about the initial stages of Cambodia's efforts to develop a banking system that worked for the people."
-Keat Chhon, MP, Former Deputy Prime Minister, and former Minister of Economy and Finance, The Royal Government of Cambodia, Honorary Chairman of the Supreme National Economic Council
