Wednesday’s suspension of Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha from his duties by Thailand’s charter court may raise questions over whether investor confidence and public investments are being affected. The country’s finance minister has, however, insisted that investment projects, to which the government has already committed, will continue.

 

Finance Minister Arkhom Termpittayapaisith said yesterday (Wednesday) that “projects already committed are to be implemented in accordance with the government’s policies, all aimed at accelerating investment, stable growth and continuity of economic recovery.”

 

President of the Stock Exchange of Thailand (SET) Pakorn Peetathawatchai stated that Thailand’s economic development and investments continue to grow, regardless of Thai politics. Looking back 20-30 years, one can see that the Thai business sector, including Thai listed companies, both domestically and internationally, have always developed, he said.

Unreasonable optimism, for a nation that is moving backwards quickly, and becoming less relevant on the world stage. A stage play? Silly prognostications, based on little reality?
