Bangkok--3 Feb--KASIKORNBANK
Recently, at KASIKORNBANK Phahon Yothin Building, Mr. Thawee Teerasoontornwong, right, Executive Chairman, and Mr. Surat Leelataviwat, left, Managing Director of KASIKORN LEASING held a press conference on KLeasing 2015 performance and 2016 business plan. He said this year's auto sales are expected to fall 4-8 percent, but the market is likely to be driven by government's investment projects, tourism and car owners' decisions to change vehicles after the end of the 5-year ownership holding requirement under the first-car buyer program. The company aims to extend 73.74 billion Baht of new loans within 2016, while earnings are estimated at 728 million Baht.
