BANK Health Check

VIEW SAMPLE HEALTH CHECK

Cambodia’s financial sector has shown resilience and growth in recent years, and continues to play a crucial role in the country’s economic development, with the banking system holding 90% of the nation’s financial assets. The sector is characterised by a two-tier system comprising the public sector, represented by the National Bank of Cambodia (NBC), and a diverse private sector.

Regular Bank Health Checks are particularly important to build trust in the banking system and support the country’s economic growth. But what duty of care do Banks undertake? How relevant are the selected products and services to customers? What diagnosis of quality, performance or health do banks take, or can take?
