The Fourth Seminar for SME Bank of Cambodia on SME Finance
(In Cooperation with JFC-Micro) 

Since June 2023, the PRI has provided a technical cooperation project on SME finance with the SME Bank of Cambodia (hereinafter referred to as “SME Bank”), which is under the technical and financial guardianship of the Ministry of Economy and Finance (MEF), Cambodia, in cooperation with the Japan Finance Corporation, Micro Business and Individual Unit (hereinafter referred to as “JFC-Micro”). This project pursues SME Bank’s human resource development and credit operation improvement by providing JFC-Micro’s know-how.


As part of this project, we held a seminar in Phnom Penh from May 27 to 28, 2025, with JFC-Micro as the instructor. The 37 participants from SME Bank received lectures, case studies, and group discussions on topics such as “Key points of interviews in quantitative and qualitative research” and “Example of completing loan screening formats” on loan review processes by industry, providing them with practical loan review expertise.


The participants actively engaged in the lectures and case studies, and during the group discussions, they actively exchanged opinions based on loan cases, summarized their opinions within each group, and presented them, making the seminar highly meaningful.
