No. But I can't see what the bombing has to go with the stimulus package but farmers my need support if there is No water later on due to a possible drought.

Isaan sailor Posted August 3, 2019 Share Posted August 3, 2019 Yes, very baffling. Not sure how bombings and stimulus relate. And on the subject of baffling—can someone please why the Baht shot up yesterday, while the Chinese currency nosedived? If Thailand remands best buds with the ChiComs—shouldn’t the Baht go down drastically as well? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guderian Posted August 3, 2019 Share Posted August 3, 2019 The government will also have to seek new revenue sources, given the its recent adjustment of the budget deficit to Bt469 billion from the previous Bt450 billion.

The first thing I thought of when I saw the news on the explosions was I really do hope this won't affect investor confidence. The first thing I thought of was can't they get serious, remove this corrupt government and system, the Elite who support them and derive further billions from the population daily and of course get rid of the puppet masters that direct operations once and for all. Then I woke up to reality and realise the spineless are still everywhere. zzzzzzzzzzz 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spidermike007 Posted August 3, 2019 Share Posted August 3, 2019 Normally I would just dismiss this statement as being indicative of an extreme degree of incompetence, which can be said about nearly every minister in this administration. But, Uttama is one of the few highly qualified people in power right now, so he must have thought this through. I suppose he was referring to the potential harm this might have on tourism, and the stimulus measures ability to counter that. Who knows? Will this administration be able to get anything right? The past five years leaves most of us with little confidence. But, this time around there is at least some participation from the other parties. Anything would be an improvement. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sydebolle Posted August 3, 2019 Share Posted August 3, 2019 I am always, again and over and over again, surprised, how absolutely unqualified clowns add their grain of salt to a subject of zero, zap knowledge at their end. What has a finance minister to say about bombings and nullify them with "stimulus packages"? Distributing ministries according to a musical chair has better chances - it seems! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CMNightRider Posted August 3, 2019 Share Posted August 3, 2019 Evidently, Thailands Finance Minister is implying the recent bombings in Bangkok, are due to a lack of some sort of stimulus measure? I think there must have been something lost in the translation from Thai to English. ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
