Thailand drops export growth target to 9%

But Finance Minister Kittiratt said that the government's 7% growth target stands pat.

According to OCBC, Finance Minister Kittiratt said that the government still aims for a 7% growth target this year, despite lowering its 2012 export growth target to 9% from 15% previously. Meanwhile, the government plans to spend another THB 15mn to buy up rubber sheet from local farmers in a bid to push up domestic prices.

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.
