Mr. Darren Teng of the Chairman of the board of Directors of Cambodia Securities Plc. , further highlighted that Cambodia’s capital market is about to experience a wave of listings! This is not only a trend in the market's development but also a rare golden opportunity for enterprises. The government’s series of tax reforms and preferential policies are further driving enterprises to accelerate their listing process. More and more companies are actively collaborating with accounting firms to organize their finances and plan for listing. This phenomenon reflects the continuous increase in market confidence and indicates that companies have a deeper understanding of the capital market.
"As a securities company, we deeply feel the rapid development of the current capital market and have seen more and more companies preparing for listing. For small and medium-sized enterprises, now is the best time to go public, as the market's focus may gradually shift toward larger companies, and the listing threshold may increase. Missing this golden opportunity will make financing more difficult, and investor interest in SMEs may decline," he said.
He encouraged entrepreneurs to seize market opportunities, plan for listing as early as possible, and leverage the capital market to enhance their competitiveness and brand value. He also pointed out that as the only full-license integrated securities firm in Cambodia, Cambodia Securities Plc. is committed to providing comprehensive one-stop listing services, assisting enterprises with diversified financial products such as investment banking and Pre-IPO funds, and tirelessly promoting the healthy development of the capital market.
Experts unanimously agreed that Cambodia is at a critical stage of capital market development, and SMEs are facing unprecedented development opportunities.
This is the "golden window" for SMEs to go public and the key moment for SMEs to seize the initiative. This period not only provides SMEs with low-cost, low-threshold listing opportunities but will also help SMEs break through development bottlenecks and achieve rapid growth.
They particularly emphasized that before listing, companies must focus on key preparations such as compliance management, financial standardization, and improving corporate governance, while ensuring that information disclosure meets regulatory requirements to gain investor trust and market recognition. Regarding financing strategies, experts pointed out that companies should reasonably evaluate their development prospects, use capital market tools to achieve resource integration, expand financing channels, and enhance their competitiveness.
At the forum, many business representatives expressed that the forum provided them with a clearer understanding of Cambodia's capital market potential, listing processes, and financing solutions.
They said that the in-depth sharing from experts made them realize that listing is not only an important means of financing but also a strategic move to improve corporate governance and enhance market trust. This forum not only helped them gain valuable industry experience but also expanded their capital market cooperation resources, laying a solid foundation for future corporate capital operations.
