Bangkok--8 May--SET The Stock Exchange of Thailand (SET)’s New Listing Committee recommends amending some rules to facilitate foreign companies and Thai joint ventures abroad to list on the local market. They also propose targeting firms in the booming agribusiness and food industry sectors to list by 2009. “It is important to make listing in Thailand more appealing for these businesses. Initially, the SET marketing team will focus on Thai joint ventures in Laos, Cambodia, and Vietnam,” SET Chairman and Committee Chairman Pakorn Malakul Na Ayudhya said. The SET marketing team is eyeing 10 companies in agribusiness and food and beverage with recognized brands, currently benefiting from increased global demand, which may be interested in listing. Approaching them now would be timely as they may well need low-cost capital for business expansion.
