Published on: Thursday 18 July 2024
Thailand is planning to introduce a new financial business law to attract foreign funds and facilitate investment in the sector, a deputy finance minister said on Friday. The law will create a 'one-stop authority' agency responsible for setting regulations and issuing licenses for key financial areas to support Thailand's aim to become a global financial centre, Paopoom Rojanasakul told a business event. The key areas are the banking sector, securities, derivatives, digital assets, and insurance, he said, and the government would put legislation to parliament later this year.
