Insurance eyed for border investors
Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha promises to find insurance solutions for investors in border economic zones who cannot find coverage due to continued martial law.
. After chairing a meeting on development of the zones Monday, Gen Prayut said the government previously set up a 200-million-baht insurance fund for tourists and could begin a similar programme for investors who agreed to do business in the border areas.
He affirmed martial law would remain in effect, saying the Internal Security Law and executive decree on public administration in emergency situations previously had been exercised but failed to control violence in the country. Even with martial law in effect, bombings continue, Gen Prayut noted.
