Mr. Charat Rattanaboonniti, President of Export-Import Bank of Thailand (EXIM Thailand), announced EXIM Thailand’s policy directions and strategic positioning as the Bank marks its 32nd anniversary and enters its 33rd year of business operations on 17 February 2026, at EXIM Thailand’s Head Office on 12 February 2026. Mr. Charat stated that the global economy continues to face intensified fragility and volatility, driven by multiple risk factors, including trade war and escalating, prolonged geopolitical tension that disrupts global supply chains, trade, and investment. Major economies are showing signs of a slowdown, while the Thai baht has experienced high volatility due to external factors, increasing risks to export revenues and costs. Energy and logistics costs also remain elevated. At the same time, global trade rules are evolving rapidly and becoming increasingly complex, particularly with the rise of non-tariff barriers, environmental standards, and sustainability requirements, which are now critical conditions for access to global markets. Climate change has further escalated business risks, as reflected in the severe flooding in southern Thailand in 2025, adding to uncertainties for Thai enterprises.
