According to Agence Kampuchea Presse, the CSX saw its average daily trading value soar to 5.8 billion KHR (approximately US$1.45 million), marking a significant 63 percent increase from the previous record of 3.6 billion KHR (approximately US$0.89 million) set in April 2022. The average daily number of orders placed reached 12,173, with an average order quantity of 7.5 million shares per day.

A press release issued on October 7 highlighted the resilience of Cambodia's securities market and investor confidence amid global economic challenges. The CSX Index rose by 20.26 percent to 650.62 points in September, indicating solid market confidence and liquidity inflows.
