In Channy

In Channy
General Manager, ACELDA Bank
Phnom Penh, Cambodia
Advisor for the International Year of Microcredit 2005

"The Cambodian experience is that an enlightened laissez-faire policy, absence of political interference and firm but unobtrusive supervision have been the driving force in the success of microfinance. Politically motivated intervention stunts the growth of microfinance as a sustainable business by distorting the market and discouraging its access to the mainstream of the financial community."

He is also a member of the Advisory Board of Mekong Project Development Facility, an initiative of the World Bank/IFC. He obtained a Bachelor Degree in Education at the Faculty of Advanced Education in Thailand, in 1992.
