Kasikornbank, in collaboration with Techsauce, hosted the 'KBank x Techsauce: Empower The Future Economy' seminar in Bangkok. This event was organized as an affiliate program of the IMF-World Bank Group Annual Meetings 2026, for which Thailand serves as the host country from October 12 to 18, 2026. The gathering of global economic, financial, and business leaders in Bangkok marks a vital opportunity for Thailand to welcome the global community.
Khattiya Indravijaya, Chief Executive Officer of Kasikornbank, delivered the opening remarks, outlining the current challenges faced by businesses worldwide. The global economic direction is being reshaped, and international trade is undergoing reorganization. Meanwhile, artificial intelligence is transforming how businesses produce, operate, and generate value, while sustainability has become a core factor in corporate decision-making and investment.
From the CEO's perspective, international investors are actively seeking countries with growth potential, adaptability, and reliable partners to navigate the future. To meet these criteria, Khattiya pointed out that Thailand possesses three foundational advantages: established production and service bases, a robust network of entrepreneurs, and a strategic location connected to the ASEAN market.
Thailand hosting the IMF-World Bank Group meetings in 2026, alongside initiatives by major financial institutions like Kasikornbank, highlights Thailand's proactive role in bridging domestic economic policies with global frameworks. Addressing sustainability transitions and AI-driven disruptions remains critical for emerging economies to maintain long-term competitiveness on the international stage.
During the event, participants gained insights into trade directions from Thailand's Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Commerce, alongside executive perspectives from the International Finance Corporation (IFC) of the World Bank Group, Standard Chartered, Microsoft, and Accenture. Key topics included sustainable growth financing, global capital integration, AI adoption, and workforce upskilling.
"I believe Thailand has the potential to be an important part of the answer."
