Thailand Baht
Ticker: THB=
Price: 31.18
Outlook
The Thai baht declined after the nation’s finance minister unexpectedly quit less than a month into the job, injecting uncertainty into an economy devastated by the coronavirus pandemic.
The currency declined as much as 0.8%, the most since July, to 31.301 against the dollar.
The Finance Ministry has predicted an 8.5% economic decline this year as the nation’s key growth drivers of tourism and trade slump. While the government has announced stimulus worth $60 billion and the central bank lowered interest rates to a record low, it may take the economy at least two years before returning to the pre-pandemic level, according to the Bank of Thailand.
“A quick appointment of a new finance minister, whose competency and merit must be acceptable to the public, is needed,” said Win Phromphaet, Bangkok-based chief investment officer at Principal Asset Management Co. “The new finance minister must also have full and independent authority in implementing economic policies.”
