Kasikornbank expects SME lending to grow 1-2% in 2026, with NPLs remaining stable. The bank is adjusting its SME credit portfolio from 30% to 28% of total credit and stands ready to support government's SME Credit Boost programme, which may expand annual allocation from 80 billion to 100 billion baht. High-performing segments like wellness and hospitality are driving growth, while primary agriculture SMEs face headwinds.
