Euromoney is pleased to announce that the 4th Annual Euromoney Thailand Investment Forum, the country’s most important capital markets and foreign investment conference, will be held on July 6-7 in Bangkok.

As Thailand struggles with sagging investor confidence and political unrest, one thing is certain: the economic fundamentals of the country are strong and there is great potential for growth. After a year in which Thailand’s economy contracted by 2.3 percent, the economy is now expected to grow between 5 and 6 percent this year in spite of ongoing challenges. This year’s forum will present an excellent opportunity for investors to examine the opportunities and risks present in Southeast Asia’s second-largest economy.

Last year’s event was attended by over 1000 Thai business leaders, multinational executives and foreign investors, cementing the forum as a must-attend meeting for all key decision makers in Thailand’s financial and capital markets.

Some of the topics to be addressed this year include:

- Political uncertainty and its affect on the investment climate and economic recovery
- Emerging growth opportunities in the ASEAN marketplace
- Challenges and prospects facing the renewable energy sector
- Financing channels available to growing Thai businesses
- Restoring investor confidence
- Stock exchange and bond market forecasts
- The legacy of the Map Ta Phut issue on infrastructure investments
- The future of PPP in Thailand

In addition to our impressive lineup of speakers and delegates, we are also pleased to have once again secured the support of the Kingdom’s three leading banks as the lead sponsors of the forum: Bangkok Bank, Kasikornbank and Siam Commercial Bank.
