BANGKOK, 14th September 2018 (NNT) - The Finance Minister says that volatility in emerging market currencies, especially Indonesia’s rupiah, will not affect Thailand due to the latter’s strong financial system.
Finance Minister Apisak Tantiworawong claims that overall, Thailand’s economic foundations are strong due to its robust financial system. Foreign loans account for only 4% of public debt, which is very low compared to other countries in the region. Moreover, Thailand has regained the confidence of foreign investors, with capital continuing to flow into the country.
Nevertheless, the minister indicated that the government has taken precautionary measures and will continue to monitor currency volatility.
