BoT okays extension of B500bn soft loan plan
The Bank of Thailand approved the extension of its 500-billion-baht soft loan scheme by six months, and allowed companies listed on the Market for Alternative Investment to apply for the loans, a previous obstacle to participation.
The central bank announced the relaxation of the parameters on Saturday, with the existing scheme scheduled to expire on Oct 22. The existing conditions did not allow listed companies to participate in the soft loan scheme from April 22 to Oct 22.
