Join the launch of the Thailand Economic Monitor “Fiscal Policy for a Resilient and Equitable Future”
On December 14 at 9:00 am Bangkok time at the Anantara Siam Bangkok Hotel.
The report will review Thailand’s recent economic development and outlook, which has shown resilience to recent global shocks. It will also review Thailand’s fiscal policy, including its fiscal response to COVID-19 which has significantly mitigated the impact of the crisis. As Thailand looks towards resuming its path towards high-income status post-pandemic, the report will provide recommendations on how to improve the quality and allocation of public spending as well as raise revenue for an inclusive recovery.
