Summary of financial sector linkages between Thailand and Cambodia in three key dimensions (Current Issue No.3587 Full Ed.)

คะแนนเฉลี่ย
  • Regarding the conflict between Thailand and Cambodia, where many government and private agencies are still closely monitoring and assessing the situation, KResearch has compiled information and generated preliminary assessments and perspectives on the Thai financial sector’s linkages with Cambodia across three dimensions as follows: 1) Money transfers and payments: Electronic transactions between Thailand and Cambodia can still proceed uninterrupted. However, other business concerns will require close monitoring going forward; 2) Thai investment in Cambodian assets: According to the latest data, such investment still accounts for a relatively small proportion of total foreign investments; 3) The Thai banking sector: The sizes of total assets, loans, and deposits from Thai commercial banks and their subsidiaries’ operations in Cambodia appear relatively small, especially when compared to the total outstanding amount of the commercial banking system in Thailand.
  • Initially, KResearch views that the development of relations between Thailand and Cambodia continue to require close monitoring. The primary concerns revolve around trade-related transactions and economic activities in border areas. Nevertheless, any impact on the Thai banking sector is expected to remain manageable because of two main factors, including: 1) When providing financial services abroad, Thai commercial banks already maintain a cautious operational strategy. They consider financial resource readiness and limit their services to areas of expertise; and 2) Thai commercial banks closely and continuously monitor and assess the situation, as well as manage risks in their international business.
