Cake Monster Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 The Investors have not stopped Investing. Sure, some of their activity may have been curtailed slightly by the Pandemic, but they have been, still are, and will be Investing. However. The Covid Pandemic has given a lot of time to these Investors to take stock, and to revamp their Business Models. The regretable outcome will be that Thailand will find itself no longer competetive on the Global Market, a sharp downward trend for Thailands Economy in the last Q of 2019, was a warning shot across the Bows. The Investors, are making their Investments into other Countries for higher returns upon their money. An strong Baht, Political unrest, massive pools of unskilled and over paid workers ( compared to relative workers in other Nations ), a lack of quality skilled workers, Etc Etc Etc have added to the Countries woes, and a 300 Billion Baht ( 1 Billion $ ) money injection into the EEC is just a Dream. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
