Krungthai: Economic Recovery to Take 2-3 Years

 

 

BANGKOK, Aug 1 (TNA) – Krungthai Bank stated that the coronavirus disease 2019 had global impacts and it would take 2-3 years for economic recovery while health and digital business had a bright future. 

 

Krungthai Bank president Payong Srivanich quoted the United Nations as stating that the COVID-19 pandemic was the worst crisis since World War II. 

 

Next year COVID-19 would cause severe contraction to 60% of the global economy and it would take 2-3 years for economic restoration. However, Thailand was in a better position than many countries thanks to its monetary and financial discipline, adaptation and digitalization in the private sector.

60% world contraction but Thailand is in a good position ? Was this guy promoted directly to president from the guy who puts the disinfectant blocks in urinals  ?

 

58 official deaths, economy in the gutter, millions out of a job

 

it is not the virus that killed the economy (of the world)

 

but how the government panic-ed and blindly followed doomsday predictions

 

in the meantime, 7000 or is it 8000 road deaths ...

I wonder what he’s smoking.  And I’d like to try some...

Even if the Thai government didn't shout down, the tourism industry was doomed anyway as no one would / could come to Thailand due to issues with fights, travel insurance, quarantining when going home etc.

Where the guy said 60% of the global economy will be affected I think to what he meant was that 60% of the global economy would be affected "to some degree" 

 

Maybe some examples to explain.  6 out of 10 businesses, 6 out 10 people, 6 out of 10 business sectors would be affected, etc.     And of course in any economic down, some folks and businesses are not affected....some will even profit.

I would expect to see globalisation increase, exponentially, over the next 18 months.

Isn't a General in the Thai Army now in charge of pitting disinfectant blocks in urinals?   ????
