Bangkok - The Stock Exchange of Thailand (SET) planned to host the Thailand Focus 2008 event to bring back investors’ confidence.
SET president Patareeya Benjapolchai revealed Thailand Focus 2008 was held at the Plaza Athenee Hotel. It will run until September 19.
The event is to explain the investment information directly to the institutional investors and international analysts.
Today, more than 180 leading domestic and overseas investors as well as large fund managers participated in the event.
The value of the assets of these investors and managers valued more than 3.5 US trillion dollars or about 119 trillion baht.
Patareeya believed the event would be able to build confidence among investors at a certain level though the political conflict was not resolved.
Prasert Bunsumpun, president of PTT Plc, said the new government should build confidence among investors and tourists.
He added that clear policies needed to be set so that Thai economy would be least affected, especially when world economy was delayed.
