There are very few internationally recognized investors from Cambodia, but the country does have several emerging entrepreneurs and business leaders who are investing in Cambodia’s economy and slowly gaining attention. Here's what you should know:

🤔 Why Cambodia Has Few
Global Investors?
- The
Cambodian stock market (CSX) is still very small and young (founded
in 2011)
- Most
investment happens in real estate and local businesses, not in
global public markets
- There's
less financial education and limited access to advanced investing
tools
- Foreign
investors are more dominant in large-scale investing inside Cambodia
(Korean, Japanese, Chinese, Western)

Cambodia’s new generation of international investors by:
