According to Khaosod Online Thailand, the Export-Import Bank of Thailand (EXIM Bank) has announced a new financial support initiative for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) under the theme 'Export Co-pilot.' The program will be featured at the Franchise Expo Thailand 2026, scheduled to take place from August 6 to August 9, 2026, at Hall 6-7 of the IMPACT Exhibition and Convention Center in Muang Thong Thani.

EXIM Bank aims to provide liquidity and risk mitigation for Thai entrepreneurs looking to enter or expand in foreign markets. The bank is offering loan interest rates starting at 2%, along with additional incentives such as fee reductions for those who register at their booth (number I2) during the event. The initiative is designed to help businesses navigate trade challenges and strengthen their global competitiveness.

For residents and business owners in Thailand, this program represents a potential opportunity to access lower-cost capital for international trade ventures. For travelers, the event highlights the ongoing activity within the local business and exhibition sector. While the bank has outlined the promotional interest rates and the event schedule, specific eligibility criteria for the loans and the full scope of the 'Export Co-pilot' services remain to be confirmed by the bank’s representatives at the expo.
