BOT to announce further easing in capital controls soon
The Bank of Thailand will soon declare a further easing in capital controls, exempting fully-hedged investment in local debt markets and mutual fund units from the current 30% withholding requirement, Governor Tarisa Watanagase said Friday.
The central bank discussed the plan with bankers earlier this month.
To be eligible for the exemption, incoming funds will need to be fully-hedged through conversion to baht via the currency swap market.
