JapanCambodia's central bank has refused to extend special loan forbearance measures requested by financial institutions, which were intended to last until the end of 2026. The central bank argued that extending these measures might conceal underlying weaknesses in the credit system and negatively impact economic growth. Financial institutions had sought the relaxation of rules to provide more leniency for borrowers, but the central bank believes maintaining stricter conditions is necessary for long-term stability. This decision reflects concerns over potential risks to the banking sector if relief measures are prolonged beyond their current expiration date.
