Maybank upbeat about Thailand despite political uncertainties and high household debt

BANGKOK: Despite falling government spending and weaker consumer sentiment, Maybank Investment Bank Bhd chief executive officer John Chong believes that opportunities still abound in Thailand.

Although South-East Asia’s second-largest economy, faces headwinds such as political uncertainties and high household debt, the country’s location, especially as a gateway to the Greater Mekong subregion, makes it a compelling investment destination.
