I samband med att Bank of Thailand sänkte räntan igår aviserade man mer åtgärder (redan idag) för att sänka värdet på THB (med syfte att bland annat stärka exportindustrin som har det jobbigt med stark THB).
"Mathee Supapongse, secretary of the committee, said the majority of the panel felt the economy was recovering slowly, helped by a boost in public investment and the positive trend in tourism should help. But the recovery would not fully offset the effects of weak domestic consumption and the weak export sector, which account for 70 per cent of GDP.He said the central bank would follow up with another measure today to manage capital flow and help depreciate the baht."http://www.nationmultimedia.com/business/Businesses-buoyed-by-rate-cut-30259070.html
Idag kom således ett beslut om mindre restriktioner avseende kapitalflöden som bland annat innebär följande:
"The Bank of Thailand (BoT) has moved to further ease foreign exchange regulations to allow more flexibility and diversification for both residents and non-residents.
Residents' foreign assets will be able to hold up to US$5 million in outstanding foreign currency deposits with domestic financial institutions. They will be allowed to purchase immovable properties, including leasehold properties abroad, to $50 million per year, Chantavarn Sucharitakul, a central bank assistant governor, said.Ms Chantavarn said the BoT plans to relax measures to prevent speclation in the Thai baht by increasing flexibility for non-residents in borrowing baht from domestic financial institutions without underlying trade and investment to the maximum of 600 million baht per group of non-residents per financial institution. This measure is expected to become effective in May, 2015.Foreign corporations will be allowed to borrow Thai baht as direct loans from domestic financial institutions for investment in Thailand, except investment in properties and securities in Thailand."Ingen expert på valutkurser så vet inte vilket direkt påverkan just dagens beslut har kontra räntesänkningen. I vilket fall som helst så fortsätter SEK att stärkas gentemot THB. Nu snart uppe på 4 igen. Skål tamefan![]()
