The Stock Exchange of Thailand (SET) announces the campaign “Invest Thailand” throughout the first quarter of this year (January-March) with many events and seminars in Bangkok and provinces to restore investment sentiment after Thailand’s flood crisis.
“We see the strong fundamentals of Thai listed firms are still attractive, especially since only a minority of firms was hit by the floods. Meanwhile, firms in many industries can turn the crisis into their opportunities for their businesses,” said SET President Charamporn Jotikasthira.
“The SET has a mission to rebuild confidence and restore livelihoods, businesses, and an investment mood. We want to emphasize that fund management is something that investors should not ignore whatever happens. That is the root of the Invest Thailand campaign which wants to encourage Thais to drive the investment and businesses by using investment as a key for the rehabilitation,” Charamporn added.
The campaign will include fairs, seminars and other activities throughout the first quarter. In January, the SET, together with the Securities Analysts Association, will hold “Invest Thailand Fair and Securities Analysis Festival” on January14-15, featuring seminars presenting the overall economy and investment directions for equity and derivatives instruments, plus exhibition booths from brokers. Then, on February 18-19 the SET will provide intensive seminars throughout both days. Finally, on March 3-4 the SET will present investment techniques, derivatives and launch a new product: currency futures.
In addition, there are two activities in the provincial areas, which are “Money Expo in Hat Yai” during February 10-12 and “SET in the City” in Phuket on March 10.
