Scot123 Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 It would have been more accurate to say crashing. Before every crash there is a slow down and we have been seeing that since the Coup coming to a stop and now the crash is beginning with negative figures for the first time being shown. But maybe I'm wrong... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the positive stories come on days with 'T' in the day of the week and the negative on ones with no 'T's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't throw good money after bad money. SMEs want to see some economic growth first before doubling down with borrowed capital. This is consistent with that the last two years that the Prayut regime has under spent its investment budget for things like SME's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
