In recent years, Japanese companies have been accelerating their business expansion in Thailand, with mid-tier enterprises and SMEs showing growing intentions to invest in the country. Accordingly, there is increasing interest and need for the utilization of medium- and long-term funds for capital investments by such mid-tier enterprises and SMEs. The loan under the credit line, through Krungsri, will flexibly provide the medium- and long-term funds required by their business operations in Thailand, 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.
