ACLEDA Bank Plc. has raised USD 100 million from its second issuance of subordinated bonds in 2025, to strengthen and support the bank's capital and sustainable business growth.

"The Official Subordinated Bond Listing Ceremony of ACLEDA BANK" was held on October 8 under the presidency of H.E. Dr. Hean Sahib, Secretary of State of the Ministry of Economy and Finance and Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Cambodia Securities Exchange (CSX). The event was attended by H.E. Sou Socheat, Delegate of the Royal Government in charge as the Director General of the Securities and Exchange Regulator of Cambodia (SERC); H.E. Hong Sok Hour, Royal Government Delegate in Charge as the CEO of the CSX; representatives of institutions; and other distinguished guests. 

ACLEDA Bank successfully conducted the subscription with 77 qualified investors subscribing to an amount of KHR 400 billion, equivalent to USD 100 million. The bonds have a coupon rate of 7.5 per cent per annum, providing opportunities for investors while also helping the bank raise capital to support its operations.

The large size of the subordinated bond reflects the trust and confidence investors have in ACLEDA Bank. 

“I am honoured and very pleased to express my deepest gratitude to the National Bank of Cambodia and the Securities and Exchange Regulator of Cambodia for having permitted ACLEDA BANK to issue subordinated bonds worth up to KHR 400 thousand million, equivalent to USD 100 million,” said Dr. In Channy, President & Group Managing Director of ACLEDA BANK.

He added that he believes the issuance of this subordinated bond provides investors and customers an additional investment option with ACLEDA Bank.

Subordinated bonds are a common financial instrument that banks around the world, including ACLEDA, have been using to strengthen and support their capital and sustainable business growth, with the trust of customers. In the first quarter of 2025, ACLEDA Bank similarly raised USD 100 million from its subordinated bond issuance—the second issuance of this kind now brings the total raised by the bank to USD 200 million, making it one of the largest corporate bond offerings in Cambodia.
