webfact Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 Thailand’s corporate confidence index falls for 7th consecutive month Thailand’s corporate confidence index has fallen for the seventh month in a row, dipping to 46.2 points in September from August’s 46.5 points due to export contraction, trade tensions between China and the US, protests in Hong Kong, recent flooding in the north-eastern provinces and PM2.5 dust problems in Bangkok and surrounding provinces. Mr. Thanawat Pholvichai, director of the Economic and Business Forecast Centre of the Thai Chamber of Commerce University said, however, that there were positive factors during the same period. He cited the government’s Chim-Shop-Chai (Eat, Shop, Spend) program which, he claimed, received an overwhelmingly positive response from the public, generating increased spending by both the government sector and the public.

Isaan sailor Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 With the Baht at 7-year high—no wonder confidence is down. Thanks to ChiComs pumping in billions—all parts of the economy will suffer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Side by side on the same shelf, 75cl Gilbeys Gin, 395baht. 1l Gilbeys Gin, 390baht. Stocks of litre bottles didn't last long! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
