Banking
Thailand's commercial banking system holds ~THB 24T in assets across eight listed banks (BBL, KBANK, SCB X, KTB, BAY, TTB, TISCO, KKP) plus three specialised state banks (GSB, BAAC, EXIM). Household debt at 88-91% of GDP is the binding systemic constraint; BOT's 2.00% policy rate compresses NIM; three virtual bank licences awarded mid-2025 reshape the digital-banking layer.
