On February 5, 2025, BanhJi Fintech Co., Ltd. (banhji) and the JICA Cambodia Office – JICA カンボジア事務所 signed a Memorandum of Cooperation (MoC) in partnership with the National Bank of Cambodia (NBC).

This partnership is part of the NBC-JICA Technical Cooperation Project, “Enhancing Capacity of Economic Analysis and Operation for Monetary Policy in the Kingdom of Cambodia”. The project aims to strengthen transparency in monetary policy decision-making and promoting the market for Khmer Riel (KHR) transactions.

To accelerate the achievement of the project’s objectives, the project is intensifying its joint research with other organizations, starting with a MoC with Credit Bureau of Cambodia (CBC) in January 2025. This MoC is the second MoC, and with BanhJi’s database based on its extensive SMEs customer base, project will enhance data-driven economic analysis and research on Khmer Riel promotion policies. Additionally, the collaboration is expected to foster the use of alternative data in monetary policy formulation and economic research at NBC.

We are honored to collaborate with JICA Cambodia to advance monetary policy research, promote financial inclusion, and support the growth of the Khmer Riel through JICA-NBC research initiatives.

At BanhJi, we reiterate our commitment to contributing to Cambodia’s financial development agenda by leveraging data responsibly, embracing technological innovation, and fostering strategic partnerships. We look forward to working closely with JICA and key stakeholders to build a stronger and more inclusive financial ecosystem.

A Memorandum of Cooperation between BanhJi and JICA Cambodia office aims to strengthen transparency in monetary policy decision-making and promote the market for Khmer riel transactions.
