National Bank of Cambodia's Bakong scale now reads as settlement infrastructure

How the National Bank of Cambodia's September 2025 Bakong scale disclosure reframes Cambodia as national settlement infrastructure for institutional readers.

National Bank of Cambodia's September 2025 Bakong scale disclosure matters because it lands on top of earlier official evidence that Bakong is being extended into large-value and financial-market settlement, while parallel central-bank infrastructure is already carrying meaningful foreign-exchange flow.

That combination makes Cambodia legible as a treasury-and-settlement market, not only a payments-adoption story.

Governor Chea Serey's September 2025 Bakong scale disclosure is materially stronger because earlier National Bank of Cambodia releases already linked Bakong to large-value and financial-market settlement, while the NBC Platform showed live foreign-exchange workflow. The combined signal is institutional, not merely consumer-fintech adoption.
