KTB's housing loans grew 2.4% in the first half. Patipat JanthongKrungthai Bank (KTB) has joined the price war among mortgage lenders in an effort to keep its customers after a number switched to other lenders offering cheaper rates. With the first-half growth, the bank expects its mortgage loan growth this year will outpace last year's, he said. The technology has helped KTB keep mortgage non-performing loans below 1% of its total housing loans. NHA governor Tachaphol Kanjanakul said the authority's 20-year plan calls for developing 2.7 million housing units, with at least 100,000 units per year.
