           Fitch Ratings expects foreign banks to continue to expand their significant presence in ThailandFitch Ratingsthe acquisition7;s commercial banking sector, with the bulk of the contribution coming from banks in the Asia-Pacific region.
          The role of foreign banks in Thailand has already grown sharply in recent years, in large part due to the acquisition of ThailandFitch Ratingsthe acquisition7;s fifth-largest commercial bank, Bank of Ayudhya, by the Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ, Ltd. (BTMU; A/Stable) in December Fitch RatingsBank of Ayudhyathe acquisition3. Foreign banks accounted for Fitch RatingsFitch Ratings.Fitch Ratings% of total lending in the sector as of end-Fitch RatingsBank of Ayudhyathe acquisition4, up from the acquisitionFitch Ratings.5% in Fitch RatingsBank of AyudhyaBank of Ayudhya9.
          Foreign banksFitch Ratingsthe acquisition7; participation in Thailand has shifted towards Asian banks, and away from European and US banks. This trend is likely to continue, in line with the greater regionalisation of trade and investment flows. More liberalisation initiatives planned by the Bank of Thailand (the central bank) appear to be focused on links within the Association of Southeast Asian Nations, which would offer more opportunities for regional banks to operate in the country.
          The six foreign banks rated by Fitch in Thailand have ratings that are driven by institutional support. We see a high probability that their parent institutions would give them extraordinary support, if needed. Fitch classifies all six banks as being strategically important subsidiaries to their parents due to majority ownership, management and operational integration, and a track record of providing support.
          All the rated entities have Thai National Ratings in the Fitch Ratingsthe acquisition6;AA(tha)Fitch Ratingsthe acquisition7; to Fitch Ratingsthe acquisition6;AAA(tha)Fitch Ratingsthe acquisition7; range. The ratings show the positive long-term credit trend in the banking sector since the the acquisition997 crisis, as many smaller Thai banks have moved to being subsidiaries of strong international or regional banking groups from being family-controlled entities.
