Thailand's currency, the baht, and large capital inflows in 2013

05/29/2013

With the Thai economy dependent on exports the strengthening of the baht poses problems for exporters. Analysts estimates capital inflows into Thailand are now three times the level of inflows before the 2008 crisis. Higher interest rates in Thailand compared to Vietnam, Malaysia and other Asian countries are adding to the inflows. Capital controls have not worked in the past with sharp declines in the stock market and loss of investor confidence.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
