PHNOM PENH: Cambodia's largest commercial bank listed on the country's stock market on Monday (May 25), the first lender to trade on the fledgling exchange, despite uncertainty caused by the Covid-10 coronavirus pandemic.

Acleda Bank became the sixth firm to join the Cambodia Securities Exchange (CSX), which opened in 2011, joining a garment factory, two state-owned ports, and a special economic zone.
