Bangkok--Jun 1--EXIM Thailand
Export-Import Bank of Thailand (EXIM Thailand) holds an opening ceremony for the “SMEs Exporter Service Center,” which will serve as an export advisory center specifically designed to serve SME entrepreneurs from now onwards. The opening ceremony presided by Mr. Sataporn Jinachitra, EXIM Thailand President, takes place on the lobby floor of EXIM Thailand Head Office, on June 1, 2005.
Acccording to EXIM Thailand President, the SMEs Exporter Service Center is inaugurated to promote the development and expansion of SMEs in line with the government’s policy since the SMEs play many vital roles in generating Thailand’s foreign currency earnings. The Bank reaffirms its dedication to serve as a trainer and advisor to the entrepreneurs entering into export business with the lack of export-related knowledge and experience in information finding, coordination with related agencies, payment instruments in international trade and, most importantly, risk prevention on non-payment, which should be learned by new exporters.
EXIM Thailand President said that apart from advisory services, the SMEs Exporter Service Center provides integrated pre- and post-shipment financial support including Pre-shipment Financing, Pre-shipment Financing for Small- and Medium-sized Enterprises, Trade Fair Financing, Exporter Supplier’s Finance, and Negotiation of Export Bills. The SMEs Exporter Service Center will play a considerably vital role in preparing SMEs for their involvement in international trade and supporting the strong Thai interests in entering the export business.
Any interested exporters are welcome to contact SMEs Exporter Service Center, which is located on the lobby floor of EXIM Thailand Head Office on Phaholyothin Road, at 0 2271 3700 ext. 2871-8.
