PHNOM PENH, Feb. 24 (Xinhua) -- Two dozen companies have so far collected a total capital of 475 million U.S. dollars from listing on the Cambodia Securities Exchange (CSX), an official said on Monday.

CSX Chief Executive Officer Hong Sok Hour said the CSX has become an important source of capital for potential companies to expand their business operations.

"To date, the CSX has received a total of 24 listed companies, including 11 equity firms and 13 corporate bond firms, collecting a total capital of about 475 million U.S. dollars," he said in a speech during the official subordinated bond listing ceremony of ACLEDA Bank.

"The average daily trading value in 2024 was approximately 130,000 U.S. dollars, with the average daily trading volume of around 100,000 shares," he added.

He said some 60,000 investors have opened trading accounts at the CSX so far.

The CSX said in a news release last month that the bourse expects that 2025 will be a golden opportunity for investors.

"We are committed to achieving significant goals for 2025 by continuing to double the daily trading value to about 300,000 U.S. dollars, adding 15,000 new trading accounts, and increasing the number of listed companies by at least six," the news release said.

The CSX, which launched trading in 2012, is a joint venture between the Cambodian government holding 55 percent of the stakes and the Korean Exchange owning the remaining 45 percent. Enditem
