July 25, 2026 -- Asset World Corp Public Company Limited (AWC), Thailand's leading integrated lifestyle real estate group, and Oversea-Chinese Banking Corporation Limited (OCBC), Southeast Asia's leading financial institution, have entered into their first strategic financing partnership, reflecting a shared belief in Thailand's long-term economic potential, the future of sustainable tourism, and responsible growth across the region. The partnership is established through a USD 200 million (approximately THB 6.6 billion) Sustainability-Linked Loan, reinforcing both organizations' commitment to creating lasting value through sustainable investment.
As AWC's first strategic financing partnership with OCBC, the collaboration also reinforces both organizations' shared sustainability ambitions while supporting AWC's growth-led strategy across its hospitality, commercial, and lifestyle destination portfolio. With an Interest-Bearing Debt-to-Equity (IBD/E) ratio that remains below the industry average, AWC continues to demonstrate financial discipline while preserving the capacity to execute its long-term growth strategy.
Mrs. Wallapa Traisorat, Chief Executive Officer and President of Asset World Corp Public Company Limited (AWC), stated:
"We really appreciate OCBC's confidence and the shared vision in sustainable tourism industry potential. We are delighted to begin our partnership with OCBC, one of the world’s leading financial institutions, to strengthen sustainable economic growth and create long-term value to industry and ecosystem.
At AWC, every project is guided by our belief that business success should create sustainable value and be part of a better future together. Through our Building Better Future mission and 3BETTERs framework—Better Planet, Better People, and Better Prosperity - we are committed to developing destinations that benefit communities, support tourism industry, and create lasting value for future generations. Together with OCBC, we look forward to advancing projects that unlock new opportunities for the economy and contribute to the sustainable future."
Ms. Elaine Lam, Head, Global Corporate Banking of Oversea-Chinese Banking Corporation Limited stated;
“We are pleased to establish our first financing partnership with AWC through this Sustainability-Linked Loan, reflecting our shared commitment to sustainable development and long-term value creation. Thailand remains an attractive market with strong potential, particularly in tourism and related sectors. As a regional bank with deep ASEAN roots, we are committed to supporting companies that contribute to sustainable economic growth with our sustainable finance capabilities. We look forward to deepening our relationship with AWC and supporting its long-term development plans.”
The Sustainability-Linked Loan will support AWC's continued investment across its diversified portfolio of hospitality, commercial office, and lifestyle destinations, enabling the Company to deliver projects that respond to evolving travel, business, and lifestyle needs while creating new opportunities for local communities and strengthening Thailand's tourism ecosystem.
