The commies have infiltrated the USA minds and government and are deliberately destroying the global economy. And it’s most tough on the poorer countries. What has happened to Laos is a direct result of US policies, plain and simple. Commies???????? Are they still around???? ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The UK has some of the smartest economists on the planet. Thailand seems to ignore basic economic theory or at least they seem to think it’s hardly worth considering for planning purposes. Only my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well the Chancellor is not one of them and they are driving the country into the ground. What is going so wrong with Thailand then as far as economics is concerned? I live here and despite a high inflation I see business picking up well and a lot of development going on. If you simply complain wrt Prawits rather naïve comments, yes that is justified.

They don't consider anything but the USD. The baht has not depreciated, only lost ground against the USD as most other currencies have. I'm getting around the same exchange rate for AUD as I have for years. He uses the 50 baht exchange rate during the Asian financial crisis for reference. Well, that was a case of a depreciated baht. It's now a totally different scenario. Looking at the 1-year currency charts of major world currencies, the AUD, CNY, INR, MYR, and CAD are trading at close to the same level as the THB (compared to a year ago). The EUR, GBP, JPY, and NZD are trading significantly lower. The CHF and SGD are slightly higher. The PHP is trading lower. The economists in Thailand live in a bubble. There is no benefit to trying to strengthen the baht. It will not work. Japan just tried this last week. It would be a very temporary fix before it slips down again. The US Fed is committed to increasing the interest rates over the next year - every month. The DXY (USD index) closed at 113 on Friday, the highest level since early 2001 (the record high was 120 in 2000). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Tyrrell Posted October 13, 2022 Share Posted October 13, 2022 Hello , Apparently Prawit has no knowledge of legal and fair practices of monetary global exchange rates and practices, That he openly admits falsely intending to falsely manipulate the Thai Currency. No wonder why The United States ???????? Treasury has put Thailand on the watchlist for potentially falsely trying to manipulate the Thai Baht !! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
