THAILAND: GM secures credit to revive expansion plan

Author: | 29 January 2010

General Motors Thai unit on Friday said it had secured a THB13.5bn (US$400m) credit line from three Thai banks to revive its earlier suspended diesel engine project and vehicle production expansion in Thailand.

Bangkok Bank , Siam Commercial Bank and Tisco Bank signed contracts pledging to provide GM (Thailand) the credit line, it said in a statement seen by Reuters.

GM had halted construction of the project in late 2008 after the global financial crisis forced its US parent office to seek a federal bailout.
