MTC participates in “Thailand’s Investment Horizon: Seizing Sustainable Opportunities and Unlocking Private Capital in 2026”

Mr. Parithad Petampai, Chief Executive Officer of Muangthai Capital Public Company Limited (MTC), participated as a panelist in the forum “Thailand’s Investment Horizon: Seizing Sustainable Opportunities and Unlocking Private Capital in 2026,” organized by the Credit Guarantee and Investment Facility (CGIF). The event served as a platform for exchanging perspectives on investment trends, funding opportunities, and the role of the private sector in supporting Thailand’s sustainable economic development. On this occasion, Mr. Parithad shared insights into the overall landscape of the retail lending sector and presented MTC’s approach to enhancing access to financial resources for local communities and self-employed individuals, who play a vital role in strengthening the country’s grassroots economy.

In October, MTC issued two tranches of Social Bonds denominated in Singapore dollars (SGD), marking the company’s first such issuance and the first SGD-denominated social bond issuance by a Thai non-bank financial institution in the international capital markets. The bonds were guaranteed by the Credit Guarantee and Investment Facility (CGIF), which plays a key role in enhancing investor confidence and enabling the company to access long-term funding at an appropriate cost.

This bond issuance reflects MTC’s strong commitment to expanding its funding base in the global capital markets, while operating in alignment with its Social Bond Framework. Proceeds from the issuance will be used to support initiatives aimed at expanding economic opportunities and improving the quality of life of target communities. The transaction also underscores CGIF’s important role as a key mechanism in advancing inclusive and sustainable financial development in the region.
