CFTE’s sessions
All times are Cambodia time (ICT, UTC+7). Session details may be updated by the organisers.
15:30 to 17:00
The Missing Majority: Designing Finance for Informal Economies
Tram Anh Nguyen · Roundtable, 90 minutes, Phsar: Finance That Reaches People. Many workers are paid outside formal payroll, with income that arrives daily, seasonally or irregularly, while most savings, credit, pension and insurance products assume a steady monthly salary. The roundtable compares products and distribution models designed for irregular income, and what keeps informal workers using a formal financial product after their first transaction.
10:20 to 11:00
From Sandbox to Scale: What Does It Take for Financial Innovation to Become Infrastructure?
Tram Anh Nguyen, moderator · Forum Stage, 40 minutes, Chaktomuk: Rails Across Borders. A sandbox can show that a product works under controlled conditions, but not whether it can be licensed, work with established institutions, earn customer trust or expand across borders. The panel looks at what an innovation needs to become a licensed market participant, and whether success in one credible jurisdiction could lower the cost of entering another.
11:30 to 12:10
A Different Financial Future: What Emerging Markets Can Shape, Share and Scale
Huy Nguyen Trieu, moderator · Closing plenary, Forum Stage, 40 minutes. What could change if emerging markets build stronger domestic financial infrastructure and connect it across borders: trade settlement, capital flows, small business market access, monetary and regulatory authority, and regional economic ties, as well as the new risks or concentrations of power that could follow.
13:30 to 15:00
Who Owns the Rails? Governance, Access and the Economics of Shared Infrastructure
Huy Nguyen Trieu, moderator · Roundtable, 90 minutes, Bakong: Sovereign Rails. When competitors share the same payment network, ownership and funding are contested. The roundtable compares central-bank ownership, industry-owned switches and open-source infrastructure, and asks who owns the rail, who gets access and on what terms, and who pays to maintain and upgrade it.
