Finance Four Confirmed Candidates Compete to Lead Bank of Thailand
Picture courtesy of Bank of Thailand Thailand's financial landscape is abuzz as four confirmed candidates vie for the prestigious position of Thailand's central bank governor. Among these hopefuls is a university dean, a state planning agency board member, and the president of a state bank. The selection committee, tasked with narrowing down the candidates, aims to present a shortlist to the finance minister soon. By Thursday, four aspirants had stepped into the spotlight, publicly expressing their interest in steering the Bank of Thailand. Verdicts must be in by July 2, as the finance minister will present the preferred candidate to the cabinet, pending both cabinet and royal nods of approval. Prominent among the candidates is economist Somprawin Manprasert, a former chief economist at Siam Commercial Bank, who believes in the power of monetary policy to combat national issues. He's joined by Anusorn Tamajai, the dean of economics at the University of the Thai Chamber of Commerce, who brings his experience as a former BOT board member to the table. Adding to the mix, Vitai Ratanakorn, the current head of Government Savings Bank, and Kobsak Pootrakool, a seasoned politician with his feet firmly planted in the financial sector, have also confirmed their candidatures. Ratanakorn previously managed Thailand’s colossal Government Pension Fund, while Pootrakool’s expertise lies in the BOT’s Monetary Policy Department. While these four men have made their intentions clear, intrigue surrounds three others. Roong Mallikamas, a deputy governor attuned to the BOT’s workings, and fintech CEO Sutapa Amornvivat are among those speculated to have applied but have neither confirmed nor denied these reports. Businessman Vikran Supamongkol also reportedly entered the race, though further confirmation remains elusive. Thailand's central bank awaits fresh leadership, bringing a mix of academic prowess, economic strategy, and political experience into one arena. The outcome of this contest stands to influence the country’s financial direction profoundly. Adapted by ASEAN Now from Thai Newsroom 2025-06-06 -
