LH Bank sets robust SME loan targetMr Shih says many Thai SMEs continue to show strong growth potential. LH Bank, a subsidiary of Land and Houses Financial Group, has set an ambitious double-digit loan growth target for its small and medium-sized enterprise (SME) segment this year, bucking the broader industry slowdown. The bank is a small lender and targets SME loan growth of 15-20% in 2026, with new SME lending of about 6 billion baht -- almost double last year's level of around 3.5 billion. The bank plans to roll out tailored SME products to better meet the needs of individual clients, said Shih Jiing-Fuh, president and chief executive of LH Bank. LH Bank set a loan growth target of 10-12% this year, assuming GDP growth of 1.8%.
