| Abstract | The Thai banking system has contributed less to economic growth and has become more detached from the real economy in recent years. We find that Thailand's bank credit market has been distorted, with banks providing restricted corporate credit for new establishments and investments, particularly for SMEs. This article discusses the underlying reasons for low corporate lending and a distorted credit market. We demonstrate that the Thai corporate credit market has been constrained by inadequate credit supply for more than three-fourths of the time between 2010 and the third quarter of 2020. Additionally, we find that loan approval decisions have been substantially weighted toward risk. Then, we examine the link between credit inclusion and credit risk, highlighting the opportunity for the Thai banking system to benefit from the synergy between credit inclusion and risk management. The result implies that the Thai banking system should put more emphasis on credit inclusion. Finally, we seek to give remedies via the lens of new institutional economics from a historical viewpoint. That is, the regulator must prevent overprotection and encourage more competition within the banking industry. |
