    Krystal Tan, a senior economist with Australia’s second-largest banking group ANZ, speaking on Bloomberg TV this week. She highlighted the impact of rising oil prices on Thailand’s energy-dependent economy and the loss of Russian tourists as significant downsides. She said that all this meant the kingdom was now more likely to see a second current account deficit this year. It comes as, S&P, the leading rating agency, downgraded four top Thai banks based on raised systematic risk as the kingdom still faces large losses in foreign tourism income with controlled entry into the country still in place. Officials are hoping to abolish this by July 1st next.
