IMF suggestion
on inflation brushed aside
The Bank of Thailand (BOT) and the National Economic and Social Development Board (NESDB) have brushed aside a suggestion by the International Monetary Fund (IMF) that the country raise the target inflation rate from zero to prevent possible deflation. Previously, the IMF had projected the Thai economy would continue to grow this year. However, it said the government should closely supervise the economic development since the financial and business sectors remained engulfed with non-performing loans. |

Keeping the MICE flowing back Even while MICE delegates flood back to Asia driven by the simple need to make up for lost time and business, the region still has a perception issue to deal with. At a panel discussion entitled “Facing the MICE Challenge”, the panelists said the corporate meetings are back in full force but incentive groups would take a few more years to recover. Gruppo Italpromo general manager, Antonio Acunzo, said, “After 9-11 the perceived safe places were South-east Asia, South America and continental Europe. Then came the Bali bombing and SARS and in three months the map changed.” |
