In recent years, against the backdrop of steady economic growth in Thailand, Japanese companies have been accelerating their business expansion, with mid-tier enterprises and SMEs showing growing intentions to invest in the country. Accordingly, there is increasing interest and need to utilize financing leases, as Japanese mid-tier enterprises and SMEs make capital investments. Loans under the credit line will provide long-term foreign currency funds flexibly for finance leasing required by business operations of mid-tier enterprises and SMEs conducted in Thailand and other countries, and thus support the overseas business deployment of Japanese mid-tier enterprises and SMEs. Thereby, this will contribute to maintaining and strengthening the international competitiveness of Japanese industries.

As Japan's policy-based financial institution, JBIC will continue to support the overseas business deployment of Japanese mid-tier enterprises and SMEs, with a view to maintaining and strengthening the international competitiveness of Japanese industries.
