The political changes in Thailand that came about after the National Council for Peace and Order (NCPO) had taken control of the country have had no impact on Thailand’s international trade.
Governor of the Bank of Thailand Prasarn Trairatvorakul cited debt repayment for rice farmers as an urgent issue that should be carried out by the Council. Another urgent issue is to restore international confidence in Thailand. Such a political change has taken place before and explanations of the situation are necessary.
