Muangthai Capital Successfully Issues 4 Billion Baht in Social Bonds
Muangthai Capital (MTC) has fully subscribed its latest issuance of social bonds, raising 4 billion baht to support financial inclusion for vulnerable groups.
According to a report by Prachachat Business, Muangthai Capital Public Company Limited (MTC) has successfully completed the sale of four new series of social bonds, totaling 4 billion baht. The issuance was fully subscribed, reflecting strong investor interest. The company intends to utilize the proceeds to expand financial access for vulnerable populations, a mission supported by the International Finance Corporation (IFC), a member of the World Bank Group, which participated in the investment. For residents and those monitoring the Thai financial sector, this development highlights the growing role of social financing in the country's micro-lending landscape.
