HSBC Thailand remains committed to supporting the Thai economy amid heightened global uncertainties, demonstrating its confidence in the country's long-term growth potential.

Despite ongoing uncertainties, Thailand is poised to benefit from a robust infrastructure ecosystem this year, according to Giorgio Gamba, chief executive and head of banking at HSBC Thailand, in an exclusive interview with the Bangkok Post.

GOVERNMENT PARTNERSHIP

Mr Gamba highlighted the success of a recent roadshow in China, where many foreign investors have shown keen interest in investing in Thailand across six industries. These investors include both HSBC's existing clients looking to expand their investments and potential new investors who are not currently banking with HSBC.

"HSBC Thailand participated in the roadshow across six cities in China over five days in the past two weeks. This initiative was part of the bank's collaboration with the Board of Investment (BOI), following the signing of a memorandum of understanding (MoU) in 2024 to promote Thailand as Southeast Asia's investment hub.

In February, HSBC Thailand signed another MoU with the Eastern Economic Corridor Office to bolster global investment in the EEC project.
