Bangkok--4 Oct--SET
The Stock Exchange of Thailand (SET) continues to aid flood victims by donating THB1,000,000 (approx. USD 32,258) to the Relief and Community Health Bureau, The Thai Red Cross Society.
SET President Charamporn Jotikasthira said the current flooding has caused great difficulties for those in flood-hit areas. Thus, SET has donated to the Thai Red Cross Society for aiding these victims, and was ready to assist more if there was any urgent need. Also, SET will distribute 2,000 survival bags to flood victims in Prachinburi and Ubon Ratchathani within this week.
SET has been giving continuous assistance to flood victims since Thailand faced a great flood crisis in 2011. Such help included coordinating with other Thai capital market organizations to establish the Thai Stock Market Flood Relief Fund, providing aid and rehabilitation in the short, medium, and long terms, including for this year’s flooding.
