The Office of Small and Medium Enterprises Promotion (OSMEP) announced that the SME Sentiment Index for June 2026 reached 47.8, showing improvement for the first time in four months. This recovery is largely attributed to the positive impact of the government's 'Thai-Help-Thai Plus' initiative. This policy, designed to support SME management, is believed to have contributed significantly to the improvement of debt conditions. OSMEP plans to accelerate the promotion of the 6th National SME Development Plan and revise the definition of SMEs to further boost this momentum. These measures aim to expand the scope of support and invigorate the domestic economy. The recent index recovery is seen as a positive sign for Thailand's economic rebound, with domestic consumption and SME vitality expected to be key drivers of growth. Source: MGR Online (Business)
