These priorities are\nreflected in Cambodia’s continued efforts to systematically develop its\nfinancial markets, strengthen market infrastructure, and promote the adoption\nof fintech, sustainable finance, and emerging technologies. This model of\ncollaboration is therefore fully aligned with Cambodia’s broader national\nstrategy. It supports the development of modern and trusted financial market\ninfrastructure, while ensuring that Cambodia maintains sovereign oversight,\nregulatory integrity, and long-term strategic alignment.”\n\n“Developing localized price discovery and risk management tools is an urgent\nrequirement for growth economies anchored in physical commodity flows,” said\nJosh Crumb, Founder and CEO of Abaxx Technologies. “Abaxx is solving core\nstructural inefficiencies in today's commodities markets through a fully\nintegrated market ecosystem, targeting gaps where legacy benchmarks and\ndigital collateral systems remain misaligned with the requirements of modern\nglobal trade. We look forward to contributing our technical expertise to\nsupport system development and operational readiness for the CNFE in alignment\nwith the SERC's initiatives.
