FRIDAY, JANUARY 30, 2026

Although many investors view Thailand as a “sleeping giant” reliant on tourism, it remains a sizeable market with strong investment potential, Eyal Agmoni, Chairman of Chartered Group, told The Nation in an exclusive interview.

With 36 years of investment experience in the region and strong track record, Agmoni said Chartered Group focuses on two core investment philosophies. Under its distressed asset approach, the group buys companies in difficulty and works to improve their performance and value.
