webfact Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 Predee’s departure will not affect economy, insists PM By THE NATION Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha told the press on Wednesday (September 2) that Finance Minister Predee Daochai’s resignation will not affect the economy. The premier added that the position would not be left vacant or projects ignored, adding that the deputy minister can fill the post and he himself, as economic chief, could keep an eye on things. The premier also said he would promote a suitable person to take over the job. Prayut also confirmed that Predee had resigned due to genuine health problems. The new finance minister tendered his resignation on Tuesday, and it was announced on the Royal Gazette the same day. His resignation goes into effect on Wednesday. In an exclusive interview with Bangkokbiznews under the Nation Group, Predee denied having any conflicts with Deputy Finance Minister Santi Promphat, saying they could work together effectively despite having different approaches and views about management. Predee is the sixth finance minister to quit soon after taking the position. Pote Sarasin spent just four days as finance minister after elections in 1957. https://www.nationthailand.com/news/30393903 -- © Copyright The Nation Thailand 2020-09-02 - Whatever you're going through, the Samaritans are here for you - Follow Thaivisa on LINE for breaking COVID-19 updates Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tso310 Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 There seems to be a lot of dissent in the government regarding the handling of the economy. I'm not keeping track but is that now 5 resignations in the last month or 2. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That remains to be seen... investors might view this as a hot potato he didn't want to hold onto.. something hiding in the closet yet to come out?

Ketyo Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 "he himself, as economic chief, could keep an eye on things" Like the generals in Myanmar kept an eye on things when they took over the country in 1950. And 50 years later it was the poorest in Asia. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isaan sailor Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 Au contraire, mon ami. Predee’s departure will absolutely affect the Thai economy. We finally have the Baht headed in the right direction—down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
