The second phase of the Securities and Exchange Commission’s “Pride of the Provinces” project has been kicked off to educate provincial companies about capital-market financing.

Companies eligible are those established for more than two years, with registered capital and shareholders’ equities of no less than Bt20 million, or having either profit or retained earnings in the latest financial year. The project aims to prepare them for listing on the stock market to strengthen their financial competitiveness ahead of the Asean Economic Community.

In the first phase, the project attracted 104 companies from 34 provinces. It was launched by the SEC together with the Interior Ministry, the National Science and Technology Development Agency, the Stock Exchange of Thailand, the Federation of Thai Industries, the Thai Chamber of Commerce and the Thai Bankers Association.
