About Thailand
Thailand’s finance ministry raised its 2010 economic growth forecast to 3.5% in December from 3.3% seen in September 2009 and expected interest rates to rise in the second half of 2010. The better economic outlook is due primarily to improved economic performance of Thailand's trade partners, accelerated government spending and flexible monetary policy.
Join us at this seminar to learn how to successfully navigate your way through the Thai market and hear about the opportunities and challenges of doing business in Thailand.
