The Export-Import Bank of Thailand and the SME Bank signed agreements aimed at facilitating trade financing for small- and medium-sized businesses (SMEs).

"We hope that this agreement will help lay a foundation for the future for small businesses wanting to increase their presence in both existing and new foreign markets," he said.
