Acting Finance Minister, Dr. Somkid Jatusripitak will graciously preside over the workshop and give a special keynote speech on “The Government’s New Economic Policy” as well as attend the SET Phuket Roadshow”
SET President, Mr. Kittiratt Na-Ranong, who is the secretary of FeTCO, disclosed that: “This is the first time since the general election that senior executives from both the public and private sectors will have a chance to meet and candidly share their views. They will also learn more about on-site project developments since after the workshop FeTCO will take the delegates to visit the sites FeTCO has been supporting, e.g., the permanent residence project in Phang-Nga and the Kamala Child Development Center in Phuket.”
Mr. Kittiratt added that the workshop is being conducted, in part, to help revitalize the tourism industry in the south. The workshop venue and the delegates’ accommodations will involve three hotels—Kata Thani Resort and Spa Hotel, Hilton Phuket Arcadia Resort and Spa Hotel, and Royal Phuket City Hotel. In addition, the SET will encourage its employees and subsidiaries to hold activities or training in tsunami-affected areas.
Interesting seminar topics in the workshop include new instruments useful for fundraising (such as debt and derivatives instruments) and how to upgrade your business to be in the SET100 group. Most importantly, it will be an opportune time for the delegates to strengthen their business networks.
The SET has put interesting and useful seminar topics into the workshop’s agenda. The topics will include “How to Qualify for the SET100” by Dr. Sethaput Suthiwart-Narueput, SET Senior Vice President. Dr. Sethaput will answer all queries about the SET100 Index, how the SET selects stocks to be included in the calculation, and the benefits of being in the SET100 group.
The CEO of Bond Electronic Exchange (BEX), Dr. Santi Kiranand, and the Managing Director of the Thailand Futures Exchange Pcl. (TFEX), Mrs. Kesara Manchusree, will be talking about “Thailand’s Emerging Financial Instruments”, so business executives attending the workshop will learn more about these new financial tools.
Delegates will also participate in group discussions to aggressively brainstorm and generate resolutions which will then be brought up as recommendations on how to further develop the Thai capital market. The over 400 delegates attending this workshop will include the board members of the Listed Companies Association, the Securities Companies Association, the Securities Analysts Association, and the Association of Investment Management Companies. Other delegates attending will include the secretary-general of the Thai Bankers’ Association, the secretary-general of the Government Pension Fund and senior executives of leading listed companies, SET member companies, investment management companies, the Thai Investors’ Association, the SET and the mai (Market for Alternative Investment).
