Political parties attend economics seminar

 

 

BANGKOK, 7th December 2018 (NNT) – Representatives of six political parties took part in an annual seminar at the Faculty of Economics of Rangsit University, this year held on the theme “Reforms and Economic Policies of an Elected Government”. 

Chairman of Strategy for Thai Rak Chart Party Jaturon Chaisaeng said at the seminar that Thai economics must be reformed with an emphasis on dispersing income to address inequality. He commented that human resources and legal changes must be made to accommodate a new kind of economy that can fuel national progress and attract investors. 

Similarly, Seri Ruam Thai Party member Sompong Srakawi remarked that Thailand continues to face familiar economic problems such as poverty, inequality and poor dispersion of income. He said the next elected government would have to address these issues. 

Democrat Party leader Abhisit Vejjajiva noted that Thailand is facing many of the same transition challenges being experienced worldwide, including problems emerging from new technology. He said the next government would have to have a clear plan to tackle this matter. 

Bhumjai Thai Party representative Siripong Angkaskulkriat explained at the seminar that while a majority of the nation’s workers are farmers, most revenue is concentrated in the industrial sector. He similarly called for better dispersion of income. 

Deputy Leader of Phuea Thai Party Kittirat Na Ranong stated that as most of the nation’s revenue is made from exports, tourism, domestic consumption and private investment, the incoming government must manage these sectors well and remove any obstacles to growth. 

Future Forward Party leader Thanathorn Juengroongruang confirmed that the dominance of a small group of investors was the main cause of many of the nation’s economic issues as the situation means any economic growth only adds to inequality. He said all sides must work together to end monopolies to truly see economic progress.

They invented economics. I'm just confused over the term "elected government" after all restrictions on nonconform parties.

Appropriately excluded after 4+ years of lost economic and FDI opportunities.

A change then in military extra-constitutional power?

Just as well. They would try to counter everything being presented and tell everyone in attendance (and the gaggle of media they would have dragged along) how they had saved Thailand's economy and will continue their fine work after the distraction of having to steal this pesky election.

Looks as though the trouble makers had a productive, trouble free meeting.  The rich in Thailand get far too many give me's .  

 

Think the junta has created reconciliation in that most parties are tired of the junta.

 

Technologies like Ali and Wechat pay will possibly consume Thailand as they have China.  Those two companies have a huge amount of influence over finance in China.

Indeed.

Yet, aren't they all smug economic geniuses?

The photo shows a lot of smug hi-sos, the haves, discussing sharing with the have-nots.  A pointless waste of time: it will never happen - TIT!
