THE STOCK Exchange of Thailand (SET) aims to bolster the government’s Thailand 4.0 development goals by building more opportunity for capital mobilisation with a focus on the country’s key industries and start-ups through its strategies for next year, while also driving investment for the ageing society.
Given its vision “To Make the Capital Market ‘Work’ for Everyone”, SET chairman Chaiwat Viboonsawat said yesterday that as a key economic-growth driver for 2017, the exchange was committed to continuing its development with inclusive growth and promoting the government's economic development for Thailand 4.0.
SET president Kesara Manchusri said that under its three main inclusive strategies, the exchange would become a fund-raising “cultivator” promoting targeted industries and clusters, list foreign assets for new listings, and allow the government to raise funds on the bourse in order to lessen public debt.
