US tariffs force ttb to conduct stress tests


Piti Tantakasem, chief executive of ttb, said at its shareholder meeting on Monday the Bank of Thailand mandated banks, particularly Domestic Systemically Important Banks (D-SIBs), conduct stress tests to prepare for potential risks and impacts arising from tariff-related factors. Although the trade war benefited Thai exports in the first quarter of this year, the impact is expected to materialise from the second quarter onward, said Mr Piti. Although its non-performing loan (NPL) ratio rose to 2.75% in the first quarter of 2025, up from 2.56% year-on-year due to a smaller loan portfolio, the total NPL amount declined to 35.8 billion baht from 36.5 billion.
