FSS Publishes 'Thailand and Laos Financial Industry Supervision Manual'

Providing Local Financial Market Information Related to Domestic Financial Companies' New Southern Expansion

[Asia Economy Reporter Kwangho Lee] The Financial Supervisory Service announced on the 18th that it has published guides on the financial supervision systems of Thailand and Laos, respectively.

Thailand is the country with the second-largest economy among the 10 ASEAN countries. After the withdrawal of domestic financial companies during the 1997 Asian financial crisis, entry was difficult for some time, but recently, domestic financial companies have resumed their entry.

Laos is a region with high demand for domestic financial companies' entry, especially in specialized credit finance businesses, due to continuous economic growth and improvements in the foreign investment environment.

This guide contains key information necessary for considering local entry, including the current status of the financial industry, licensing and business supervision systems, and precautions when entering both Thailand and Laos, which is expected to greatly assist domestic financial companies in preparing for overseas expansion and local operations.

The materials will be distributed to financial companies and financial associations and posted on the Financial Hub Support Center website.

An official from the Financial Supervisory Service stated, "We plan to actively support the overseas expansion of domestic financial companies by continuously expanding the provision of information on countries with high demand for domestic financial companies' entry."
