Vietnam’s Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc gave a warm welcome to the Governor of the Bank of Thailand (BoT) Veerathai Santiprabhob in Hanoi yesterday and expressed a desire for stronger ties between the Vietnamese and Thai banking systems while noting with satisfaction that the two sides have signed and implemented many important cooperation documents, an important prerequisite for the upcoming joint cabinet meeting.

THE GOVERNMENT hopes a proposed move to spark a shopping spree by offering tax breaks on goods at the end of the year will continue the momentum achieved by economic stimulus activities in the fourth quarter, said Bank of Thailand Governor Veerathai Santiprabhob.
