Thailand's minimum wage policy set to drive domestic consumption

Triggering too much inflationary pressure is unlikely.

OCBC Treasury Research noted:

BOT Deputy Governor Pongpen said that the minimum wage policy, which will be kicked off in January 2013, is unlikely to trigger too much inflationary pressure to the economy but would provide a strong boost to domestic consumption, at a time when the external demand remains weak.

Meanwhile, Toyota said that it is aiming to increase vehicle production in Thailand to an average of 1million a year, or 14% more than the projected output for 2012.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.


If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
