NESDB hopes Thailand earns 'good management' status
BANGKOK, Aug 15 (TNA) – The National Economic and Social Development Board (NESDB) hopes to see Thailand gain recognition as a world leader in terms of good management.
Speaking at al seminar on "A Vision of Thailand…Toward 2027," NESDB Secretary-General Amphon Kitti-amphon said Thailand would experience changes in various aspects of the globalisation age during the next two decades.
In a midst of globalisation, there would be a grouping of regional economies, which could lead to a linkage of the economic system.
He said the center of the world economic power would shift to Asia and that the global financial movement would fluctuate heavily due to speculation by large hedge funds.
The world will enter an era of the aging society, which could lead to global economic recession, Dr. Amphon said, in which technologies will play a greater role in daily living.
Oil supplies will decrease while the price of the commodity will rise, he said. Alternative energy production would be so high that the stability of global foods will be affected, he said.
In addition, global warming would increase and cause more appalling natural disasters, than those which Asia has been experiencing in recent years.
Mr. Amphon said the NESDB has targeted developing the country into a self-reliant economy with food and energy stability and that Thailand would become the economic hub of the region by 2027.
The agency also targeted making Thailand as one of the world's leading countries in terms of good management practices by that year. (TNA)
