Thailand central bank forecast to be hawkish

Analyst says policy normalisation is the key priority for 2013.

OCBC Treasury Research noted:

BOT is widely expected to keep its policy rate steady at 2.75% this week but we expect to see the central bank returning back to a slightly more hawkish tone to kick off 2013, as we look for policy normalisation to be the key priority for 2013.

Recent comments from the BOT Governor have continued to suggest that the central bank is closely watching the pace of credit growth in the country while also noting that they remain very much optimistic on the growth front.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
