Enrolment opens for debt relief schemeListen to this articleThe Bank of Thailand has opened registration for its new "Clear Debt, Move Forward" debt relief initiative, designed to help ease the country's household debt burden. In the initial phase, the scheme covers borrowers from commercial banks and non-bank lenders under commercial banking groups. The programme is intended to help small borrowers break out of the NPL cycle and regain access to formal financial services. Under the programme, SAM purchases unsecured NPLs from participating institutions and restructures them under more lenient terms. The central bank said the initiative reflects a coordinated effort to address household debt challenges and support vulnerable borrowers in re-entering the formal financial system.
