BAM Announces Expansion Plans for Second Half of 2026
Bangkok Commercial Asset Management (BAM) has outlined its strategy for the remainder of 2026, focusing on the establishment of three new joint venture asset management companies.
According to reports from Prachachat Business on August 13, 2026, Bangkok Commercial Asset Management (BAM) has presented its business roadmap for the second half of the year to analysts. The company aims to build a more resilient business model by reducing its reliance on 'Big Ticket' transactions.
Key components of this strategy include accelerating Troubled Debt Restructuring (TDR) and increasing the turnover of Non-Performing Assets (NPA). Furthermore, BAM plans to establish three additional joint venture asset management companies (JV AMC). The company anticipates that the first of these new ventures will be finalized as early as the end of the third quarter of 2026. The firm has also set an ambitious target to grow its total asset portfolio to exceed 600 billion baht.
For residents and investors in Thailand, these developments signal a shift in how distressed assets are managed within the local financial sector. While the expansion of these joint ventures could lead to more efficient asset liquidation and market activity, the specific operational details and the exact timeline for the launch of the remaining two joint ventures remain to be confirmed. Stakeholders are advised to monitor further announcements from BAM as the company works toward its year-end targets.
