More than 79,000 new accounts of the total 131,748 belong to customers buying residential units worth up to Bt2 million.
Non-performing loans represent 4.4 per cent of its total outstanding loans, which stand at Bt1.09 trillion, Chatchai said.
The bank is confident it will reach its loan-approval target for 2018 of Bt189 billion, he added.
