German Finance Minister Wolfgang Schauble will be in Bangkok next week, as the guest speaker of Bank of Thailand's second Policy Forum.
At the policy forum, kicked off as the central bank celebrated the 70th anniversary, he will give a speech on "Asia and Europe - What we can learn from each others: Towards an economic policy model for the future".
According to Bank of Thailand Governor Prasarn Trairatvorakul, Schauble would also share his experiences in dealing with the Euro Area crisis.
After Chancellor Angela Merkel, Schauble has played a key role particularly in resolving the debt crisis in Europe. During his visit to the BOT, H.E. Dr. Wolfgang Schäuble will share his experiences in addressing the European debt crisis with BOT’s executives at the 2nd BOT Policy Forum.
Aiming to promote the exchange of experiences with key figures in fiscal and monetary areas, the policy forum was inaugurated with the speech by International Monetary Fund Managing Director Christine Lagarde in July.
In 2013, the central bank will invite two prominent central bank governors as keynote speakers of two more policy forums.
Prasarn aims to use the BOT Policy Forum as a venue for the BOT to utilise knowledge received from all speakers in improving monetary policy implementation to promote sustainable economic stability of Thailand.
