The Association of Banks in Cambodia (ABC), in collaboration with the Institute of Banking and Finance (IBF) successfully conducted a Climate Finance Workshop on 30 January 2026 at the IBF Training Center. The workshop marked the first session of a three-part training series under the Climate Banking Accelerator Program supported by Asian Development Bank (ADB).
Mr. Dith Sochal, ABC Council Member, and Ms. Yasmin Siddiqi, Country Director for Cambodia of the Asian Development Bank (ADB), Mr Sou Visal, CEO of the IBF, graciously presided over and delivered the welcome and opening remarks at the Training Workshop on “Climate Finance.”The workshop was attended by approximately 40 participants representing the banking and financial sector.
The objective of the workshop was to provide essential knowledge and practical tools, delivered by experts from Cambodia’s banking sector, to support the integration of climate finance and sustainable finance into the core operations of banks. As Cambodia’s banking and financial sector continues to grow and mature, the integration of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles into banking practices is no longer optional. In this regard, the workshop aimed to highlight key considerations within the banking sector, including product management strategies to identify, structure, and manage climate-related financial products.
