The rise was causing delays in banks’ and financial institutions’ coordination of those requests.\nTo encourage front-line soldiers performing combat-zone duties to defend territorial integrity, the bank asked displaced people for their understanding as soldiers’ requests were given priority for coordination, according to its January 1, 2026 notice. Front-line soldiers who had already applied for exemptions but had not received a response from their bank or financial institution were asked to contact the National Bank of Cambodia.\nBy: Nget Pisant","contentScope":"full","proof":{"publishedSourceRevision":"1","publishedWorkingVersionId":"15976","languageVersionId":"12913","visibilityVersion":"2","versionToken":"a1.OWYOFKPOq9-zzDf_TaUdtOIyi5vgob4a0zwMZralYbo"},"availableLocales":["zh","en","km"],"attributes":{"sourceLocale":"km","translationKind":"machine","nodeId":"12","authorText":"","sourceName":"KPS99TV"},"references":[],"links":[],"publishedAt":"2026-01-02T03:38:24Z"}
