One of Thailand’s largest lenders is on an overseas hiring blitz for jobs in technology and digital banking, as it boosts a regional expansion strategy to counter slowing domestic growth.
Kasikornbank Plc expects to increase staff at its overseas operations to about 2,800 by the end of next year, up from about 900 currently, according to co-president Pipit Aneaknithi. It’s part of a growth strategy abroad -- that includes lifting its stake in PT Bank Maspion Indonesia -- that’s seeking to boost international revenue to more than 5% in 2023 from less than 1% now, he said.
