BAM Advances to Become Regional Player, Launching Proactive Offshore Strategy and Exchanging Ideas with KAMCO to Develop World-class Debt Resolution Model

In the context where debts have become structural constraint on economic growth, affecting household purchasing power, investment capacity of business sectors, and efficiency in resource allocation of global financial system, debt resolution tops national agenda that must be driven seriously and systematically. Development of efficient debt resolution mechanisms that align with future economic outlook is thus required to restore stability, unlock economic potential, and propel sustainable growth. 

Bangkok Commercial Asset Management Plc. (BAM) led by Mrs. Tongurai Limpiti, Chairman, and Dr. Rak Vorrakitpokatorn, Chief Executive Officer, together with top executives, paid a study visit to and discuss operation guidelines with Korea Asset Management Corporation (KAMCO) in the Republic of Korea during 19-23 March 2026. KAMCO is a globally acclaimed model organization for asset management of the public sector, spearheaded by Mr. Jeong Hoon Jeong, Chairman and CEO, and top executives. This meeting was also honorably attended by Mr. Jukr Boon-Long, Advisor to the Minister of Foreign Affairs, and Mr. Tanee Sangrat, Ambassador of Thailand to the Republic of Korea (Seoul), who joined the discussions and provided support in strengthening cooperation between the two countries. 

This study visit aims not only to study successes aligned with BAM’s transformation direction in three areas, i.e., from “national debt resolution mechanism” to “regional asset management platform,” thereby new growth opportunities beyond Thailand are sought along with expansion of strategic partner network in Asia through exploring collaboration guidelines in three major areas as follows:   

1. Co-Investment: Exploring joint investment opportunities, e.g., equity participation and joint venture (JV) to support business recovery and boost liquidity. 

2. Co-Knowledge Sharing: Exchange of knowledge on debt resolution and asset management through such essential tools as digital platforms (OnBid), alternative investment & management mechanisms, and market intelligence.

3. Co-Human Capital Developmemt: Joint enhancement of personnel potential through secondment to uplift operational capabilities.    

Furthermore, both organizations have planned to expand their cooperation on the international stage, with opportunities to meet and further discuss during the 2026 Annual Meetings of the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank Group, to be hosted by Thailand during 12–18 October 2026.

Therefore, this study visit not only reflects BAM’s commitment to elevating its asset management capabilities, but also lays a crucial foundation for creation of a regionally interconnected “debt resolution ecosystem.” This underlines BAM’s role as the country’s leader in driving debt resolution mechanism, which is poised to advance to become the regional asset management platform that would be able to bring economic stability and open room for new sustainable growth.
