Given the positive trend, we aim to add 50 new Chinese clients each year over the next few years, says Mr Gamba.
HSBC Thailand aims to increase its new Chinese corporate clients by 50 companies annually over the next few years in response to the strong growth of Chinese foreign direct investment (FDI) in Thailand.According to Giorgio Gamba, chief executive and head of banking at HSBC Thailand, Chinese FDI in Southeast Asia and Thailand has continued to expand and is expected to maintain a positive outlook.
Thailand remains a key regional destination for Chinese investment across a range of sectors, including smart electronics, digital technology, data centres, artificial intelligence (AI), automobiles and auto parts, as well as clean energy, he noted.
"We have onboarded several hundred Chinese corporate and institutional clients over the past few years. Given the positive trend, we aim to add 50 new Chinese clients each year over the next few years," Mr Gamba said.
To capitalise on this trend, HSBC Thailand launched the "China META Team", a 17-member Mandarin-speaking specialist unit designed to provide end-to-end support for Chinese business investment in Thailand. Services include relationship management, legal advisory, risk management, and a full range of financial solutions.
