Firm registrations hit by US levies
New business registrations are projected to stagnate at 85,000 this year, similar to 2024, due to US tariffs that could affect exports in the latter half, according to the Department of Business Development (DBD). As a result, the private sector is adopting a wait-and-see approach, said Auramon Supthaweethum, director-general of the DBD. She said the number of new business registrations in the second half of this year could reach 41,000 or 42,000. The total number of registrations this year is expected to be 85,000, said Ms Auramon, bolstered by government stimulus initiatives including "Tiew Thai Khon La Khrueng", a co-payment tourism initiative, and low-interest loans for small and medium-sized enterprises expected to promote domestic tourism and consumption. Sectors expected to post growth during the second half include hotels and resorts, condominiums, passenger and cargo transport, food product wholesaling, and restaurants, according to the DBD. However, the potential effects of US reciprocal tariff measures could impact Thai exports in the latter part of the year, leading to businesses delaying decisions until tariff announcements are made. To tackle the potential impact of US tariffs, she said the DBD plans to enhance the capabilities of Thai entrepreneurs in terms of trade knowledge and modern technology. This initiative includes incorporating artificial intelligence for back-end offices, utilising digital marketing strategies, and organising business matching events to explore new market opportunities. In the first half of 2025, new business registrations tallied 43,838, a 5.49% year-on-year decrease, with total registered capital of 149 billion baht, up 2.8%. The top sectors for new registrations were general building construction with 3,490 new businesses, followed by real estate with 2,870 new businesses, and restaurants/eateries with 1,832 new establishments. In terms of foreign businesses under the Foreign Business Act, there were 502 new companies with a total investment of 112 billion baht. The top countries for foreign investment were Japan, the US, China, Singapore and Hong Kong. The US investments are concentrated in the engineering service sector; retailing of vehicle parts and accessories, cosmetics, food supplements and machinery; marketing services; consulting services; and original equipment manufacturing for products such as DC cables, captive screws for PCBs, and alloys used in jewellery production.

Bank profits up 3.97% in H1
Thailand's banking industry reported a modest increase in net profit for the first half of 2025, weighed down by a decline in net interest margin, lower interest rates, and sluggish loan growth. According to financial statements submitted to the Stock Exchange of Thailand (SET), 11 SET-listed banks and their subsidiaries posted a combined net profit of 134.5 billion baht for the first half of 2025, marking a year-on-year increase of 3.97%. Among the six domestic systemically important banks (D-SIBs), only SCB X -- the holding company of Siam Commercial Bank (SCB) -- and Bangkok Bank (BBL) recorded net profit growth. SCB X reported the highest net profit growth in the sector, rising 18.7% year-on-year to 25.2 billion baht. BBL followed with a net profit of 24.4 billion baht, up 9.5%. The remaining four D-SIBs -- Krungthai Bank (KTB), Kasikornbank (KBank), Krungsri (Bank of Ayudhya), and TMBThanachart Bank (ttb) -- posted either flat or declining net profits. KBank reported the highest net profit among all banks at 26.2 billion baht, but this figure represented a 0.98% decline from the same period last year. The marginal increase in the sector's overall net profit was primarily driven by non-interest income and effective cost control measures. However, the overall industry saw a decline in net interest income (NII), reflecting the downward trend in interest rates and weak loan demand in line with Thailand's economic conditions. The six D-SIBs reported a combined NII of 327 billion baht for the first half of 2025, down 6.57% year-on-year. As of June 2025, the banks reported total outstanding loans of 13.2 trillion baht, a 0.97% decrease from the end of 2024. Five of the six D-SIBs recorded loan contractions. Only BBL, Thailand's largest lender by total assets, reported marginal loan growth of 0.73%. Kanjana Chockpisansin, head of banking and financial sector research at K-Research, noted that the banking industry is expected to continue facing challenges in the second half of the year due to both domestic and external pressures. Ongoing global uncertainties, particularly stemming from the impact of US tariffs on Thai exports, are expected to weigh on Thailand's economic growth and loan expansion in the second half of the year. Additionally, the declining interest rate environment is likely to continue pressuring the sector's NII. K-Research projects that total loan growth for the banking sector will contract by 0.6% in 2025, in line with a weakening economic outlook in the second half of the year. The centre forecasts Thai GDP growth of just 1.4% for this year. Arthid Nanthawithaya, chief executive of SCB X, said in the financial statement to the SET that despite persistent macroeconomic uncertainties and the prolonged household debt issue, SCB X remains committed to supporting all borrowers through various ongoing assistance measures, including its "You Fight, We Help" debt relief programme.
