On Saturday, Kasikornbank, a Thailand bank, revealed its plans to invest up to US$40 million in a 35% stake in Ayeyarwaddy Farmers Bank, a Myanmar's institution after it got approval from the central bank of Myanmar.

Kasikornbank, which is Thailand's number two bank by market capitalization, said that the would be made through a unit of the bank known as Kasikorn Vision, which has a budget of up to US$428 million (14 billion baht) for overseas businesses.
