Aiming a better standard of living, Cambodia's Muslims are hoping of introducing the Islamic finance to the Buddhist country to lure investments from the Muslims-majority states in the Middle East and Asia.
Cambodian Muslims hope that by inserting Islamic finance, already booming in Malaysia and Middle Eastern countries, they could rule trade with those countries and attract investment from Islamic banks in the region.
This trade would improve the living standards for Combodian Muslims, who generally have a lower standard of living than their Khmer countrymen.
