 The name of Anuthin was popped as a Prime Minister in waiting by Red Shirt leader – Jatuporn Promphan, who came out to say that on December 2, 2020 there is a very high chance that Gen Prayut could be hung high and dry by the Constitutional Court when the court is set to rule on his continued occupation of the army housing that was allocated to him when he was the army chief but had to vacate it after he left the position in 2014.

Economic News

’s exports in October shrank 6.71 per cent to US$19.376 billion while imports fell 14.32 per cent to $17.33 billion. This led to a trade surplus of $2.046 billion, according to the Commerce Ministry’s Trade Policy and Strategy Office (TPSO).

 Thailand’s exports contracted 7.26 per cent to $192.372 billion while imports dropped 14.61 per cent to $169.702 billion in the first 10 months of this year, resulting in a trade surplus of $22.670 billion.

 TPSO director-general Pimchanok Vonkorpon said exports of Thai goods saw better-than-expected growth than forecast as Thailand’s international trade had improved as global economy was gradually recovering as reflected by Global Manufacturing Purchasing Managers’ Index which stood at above 50 for the 4th consecutive month.

 The ministry maintains full-year view of 7 per cent export decline given that the country must fetch $18.329 billion a month in the remaining 2 months of the year. Overall exports are likely to see a contraction of less than 7 per cent if the value of exports in the remaining months of the year reaches 19 billion baht, Pimchanok said, adding that she was optimistic that Thailand’s exports would continue its recovery trend as the United States’ unofficial election results and COVID-19 vaccine development sent a positive signal on world trade.

 The Finance Ministry said it is planning to extend the 2nd phase of the co-payment scheme, to cover as many people as possible and the extension of an additional 500-baht cash subsidy benefit under the 1st phase co-payment scheme for state welfare cardholders’ credit line as New Year gifts to the public.

 The co-payment scheme is a program in which the government subsidises 50 per cent of food and goods purchased at small shops.

 The Ministry is also looking for a New Year gift for the Student Loan Fund (SLF)’s debtors with good payment records.

 The Finance Ministry said it expects the Thai economy to grow 4 per cent in 2021 after a slump this year and fiscal policy will support a tourism-reliant economy struggling from the impacts of the coronavirus pandemic.

 The economy had bottomed but recovery was not fast as the battered tourism sector, which accounts for about 12 per cent of gross domestic product (GDP), has also hurt supply chains, Finance minister Arkhom Termpittayapaisith said.

 “Without the COVID, our economy could have expanded 3 per cent this year, he said. “As we expect a 6 per cent contraction this year, there is the output gap of 9 per cent,” he told a business forum.

 “Next year, we expect 4 per cent growth, which is still not 100 per cent yet,” Arkhom said, adding it could take until 2022 to return to pre- pandemic levels.

 There is still fiscal policy room to help growth from this year’s fiscal budget and some from rehabilitation spending. Arkhom said the government can take out an additional loan of 980 billion baht as there is still 30 per cent fiscal space left.

 The cabinet yesterday approved projects worth up to 152 billion baht earmarked for reviving the economy in the fallout of COVID-19 outbreak, government spokesman Anucha Burapachaisri said.

 Of this amount, 16.46 billion baht will be spent on creating jobs and upskilling or reskilling workers, much like the Labour Ministry’s project of supporting the recruitment of new graduates. Another 45 billion baht will be set aside for projects aiming to strengthen grassroots economy, while 30 billion baht will be spent on stimulating local consumption. The remainder will be poured into infrastructure development, says Anucha.

 This spending is expected to boost the gross domestic product by 0.2 per cent this year and 0.25 per cent next year. It is also expected to maintain or create 310,000 new jobs, upskill 160,000 workers, generate revenue for some 100,000 vendors and inject an additional 60 billion baht into the economy.

 Sathien Setthasit, founder and chief executive officer of Carabao Group Plc (CBG), the maker of Carabao Dang energy drink, announced the readiness to list CJ Express Group on the Stock Exchange of Thailand (SET) in 2022.

 Sathien expects CJ Express Group to generate sales revenue of 17 billion baht in 2020, with a profit of more than 900 million baht. The company currently operates 530 CJ Supermarket stores located across the country, with the plan to add the number of stores to 580 by the end of this year.

 Sathien said he had plans to revamp retail TD Tawandang’s stores under a new convenience store format. TD Tawandang’s stores cover an area of 50-100 square metres. There are now 200 TD Tawandang branches mainly in central provinces. It is estimated that there will be 300 outlets in operation by the end of 2020. The company aims to have 5,000 outlets by the end of 2021 and 10,000 outlets operating by the end of 2022 and 30,000 outlets within the next 5-6 years.

 PTT Plc (PTT) set aside a 5-year capital spending budget of 1 trillion baht (2020-24) for investments in 2 core businesses, according to Chief Financial Officer Pannalin Mahawongtikul. The 2 businesses are:

 New investments in energy businesses including renewable energy and electricity business to accommodate Thailand’s electrical vehicle (EV) market.

 New Business investments in the healthcare industry, development of a medicine factory, the dietary supplementary business and medical equipment.

 The Stock Exchange of Thailand (SET) Index rallied above 1,400 points yesterday as the market closed at 1,420.43 points, up 31.09 points or 2.24 per cent with a trading value of 105.036 billion baht, driven by the foreign fund inflow and news of successful development of 2 Covid-19 vaccines.

 The surge is in line with global markets’ uptrend, the sudden 100-point spike may result in a correction.

 Foreign flow totalling 948 million baht moved to the bond market yesterday after a sharp turn with net sell offs worth 9.52 billion baht on the last 2 trading days stimulated by the Bank of Thailand’s launch of measures to boost local purchase of foreign currencies.

 Deputy Prime Minister and Energy Minister Supattanapong Punmeechaow yesterday said the market was buoyed by Standard & Poor (S&P)’s decision to keep Thailand’s sovereign credit rating at BBB+. Improvement in the domestic political situation had also boosted the SET, Supattanapong added. Investors would gain more confidence if the turmoil ends peacefully, he said.
