A polyamideimide resin for flexible printed circuit boards, which is obtained by the polymerization reaction of an acid component comprising at least a monoanhydride, an aromatic dicarboxylic acid, and an aliphatic dicarboxylic acid with a diisocyanate compound or diamine compound in an approximately equimolar amount with respect to the total molar amount of the acid component, wherein, taking the total molar amount of the acid component as 1, the molar amount of the monoanhydride is 0.5 to 0.8, the molar amount of the aromatic dicarboxylic acid is 0.1 to 0.4, and the molar amount of the aliphatic dicarboxylic acid is 0.05 to 0.2.
