The United States had been pushing for the Organisation of Petroleum Exporting Countries and its allies, known as Opec+, not to cut output as it tries to keep energy prices down amid the disruption of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. “What we’ve been clear about is the need for energy supply to meet demand.... When it comes to Opec, we’ve made clear our views to Opec members,” Blinken said at a press conference during a visit to Chile. Asked if he was disappointed in US ally and Opec member Saudi Arabia, Blinken said Washington has a “multiplicity of interests with regard to Saudi Arabia”. “I think what we’re seeing is that if they continue down this road, it will only increase condemnation, increase the isolation, increase the steps that are taken in response to their actions,” he said.
The South East Asian roadshow is being led by Mr Lars Christiaanse, Sales & Marketing Director at Fenton Whelan. Park Modern provides front row views over Hyde Park and Kensington Palace Gardens. The contemporary design by architect Lee Polisano of PLP Architecture represents Hyde Park’s finest park-side architecture to date. Following its launch in the UK more than half of the apartments at Park Modern have already been forward sold off-plan. The phenomenal sales success, a reflection of the quality of the development and its prime location, has made Park Modern Prime Central London’s fastest selling and most successful luxury development in several decades.
PTT is pushing ahead with a plan to build an EV assembly plant. Development of new businesses, including electric vehicles (EVs), EV batteries, renewable energy and hydrogen fuel, as well as medical products will go on despite rising prices of some raw materials. PTT aims to increase its power generation capacity from renewable energy sources to 12 gigawatts, up from 1GW at present, within 2030. On the subject of expensive energy prices, Mr Auttapol said he believed the prices had already peaked. "Though gas and oil prices are expected to stay high, with frequent fluctuations, the prices will not be as high as those seen earlier this year," he said.
GISTDA reported the flood situation after studying information from the Sentinel-1 satellite. Of the 3,289,514 rai affected by floods, precisely 526,577 rai are rice fields, the agency said. It estimated floods have affected at least 758,000 people, damaged some 3,700 houses, and overwhelmed 1,463 kilometres of roads. The provinces with the largest flooded areas are Nakhon Sawan (650,967 rai), Ayutthaya (430,745 rai), Phichit (402,083 rai), Suphan Buri (356,651 rai) and Sukhothai (269,629 rai), while Nong Bua Lamphu has the least at 287 rai. GISTDA said it had sent satellite images to various organisations to support their missions in planning and monitoring the flood situation.
(Photo: Varuth Hirunyatheb)The National Water Command Centre has warned flooded provinces along the Chao Phraya River of rising water levels as it slows the downriver surge from the North to protect Bangkok. The centre also said that the flood deluge from the Yom and Ping rivers was flowing into the Chao Phraya River. "To reduce flooding in low-lying areas below the Chao Phraya barrage from Chai Nat province to Samut Prakan province, it is necessary to regulate the discharge rate at the Chao Phraya barrage at 2,700-2,800 cubic metres per second." The centre ordered irrigation officials to maximally divert water from the Chao Phraya River to adjoining canals on both sides of the river. People in low-lying areas above the Chao Phraya barrage in Chai Nat and Uthai Thani provinces should brace for overflow from the Chao Phraya, the centre said.
He also expects the LNG price to drop from early next year as demand declines after winter in Europe. A falling LNG price would cut electricity generation costs, as natural gas is used to fuel power stations. Auttapol told the “Thailand Economic Outlook 2023” seminar held by Krungthep Turakij, that PTT must strike a fine balance between ensuring sufficient oil and gas to meet demand, minimising environmental impacts, and keeping prices as low as possible. He added that PTT is focusing on maximising refinery and transport efficiency and using carbon capture storage technology to reduce environmental impacts. The energy giant is also switching its focus to cleaner energy such as natural gas as oil consumption is expected to drop over the next decade, he said.
Poon said that the market is in a risk-on state, which might slow the baht’s weakening if foreign inflows rise. Also, the baht may gain short-term support from gold sales if the price exceeds its resistance level at $1,700 per ounce, he added. He said the baht could swing sideways or strengthen in the short term, as daily and weekly graphs show signs of bearish divergence. He also advised watching for weak liquidity in the market that could drive baht fluctuation and sideways swings in a wide range.
The move is part of plans to turn Thailand into Southeast Asia’s aesthetic medical hub, Hugel’s chief medical officer and vice president Hyoung Jin Moon said in an exclusive interview. He said the aim is to provide professional training to Thai doctors and beauty service providers, who can then share their knowledge with their counterparts in neighbouring countries. The first such seminar, entitled the "Aesthetics Master Class: Harmonise the Shape with Botulinum Toxin type A (BoNT-A)", was held recently to impart knowledge on the safe application of rejuvenating active ingredients. The event also touched on the “reverse ageing” concept intending to raise the bar for the beauty industry. Attending the seminar were top dermatologists, especially from South Korea, as well as more than 200 leading Thai doctors who shared their knowledge, insights, techniques and the latest in the beauty enhancement industry.
Poon said the baht may also swing sideways, so he suggested monitoring foreign investments. If foreign investors sell fewer Thai assets, it might slow down the baht’s weakening. In the short term, Poon estimates the baht’s resistance level will remain at 38.20-38.40 to the dollar, as some exporters and foreign investors may sell the dollar for profits. He expects the support level to be at 37.50 to the dollar, a level at which importers are waiting to buy the currency. Poon reckons the dollar’s momentum will slow down and may weaken amid currency intervention in several countries.
US interest rates are expected to rise to 4.4% by the end of this year, causing other currencies to weaken. With banks expected to increase their interest rates soon, hoteliers' hopes of making a profit this year are rapidly diminishing, she said. Raising Thai interest rates would affect the country's economic recovery, while only commercial banks would benefit, said Mr Chanchai. The Thai rate does not need to be raised as much as the US rate. Authorities should monitor the situation until the US cuts its interest rates," he said.
The ministry also added that aerodromes will be required to fulfil certain requirements to start the operation of flights. So far, eight greenfield airports – namely Durgapur, Shirdi, Sindhudurg, Pakyong, Kannur, Kalaburagi, Orvakal and Kushinagar – have started operating. As per the ministry, in the 2022-23 financial year, the central government has granted site clearance to the Himachal Pradesh government for the development of a new greenfield airport at Nagchala, Mandi. In addition to this, 35 airports, helipads and water aerodromes are planned for development in 2022-23. While these guidelines are for the licensing of the aerodrome from the technical point of view, the licence for the operation of airports is granted by the government as per the Civil Aviation policy.
They started attacking officers, they damaged cars," Nico said, adding that the crush occurred when fans fled for an exit gate. Video footage from local news channels showed fans streaming onto the pitch in the stadium in Malang after Arema FC lost to Persebaya Surabaya. Images showed people who appeared to have lost consciousness being carried away by other fans. World soccer's governing body FIFA specifies in its safety regulations that no firearms or "crowd control gas" should be carried or used by stewards or police. East Java police did not immediately respond to a request for comment on whether they were aware of such regulations.
Cannabis 'can reap huge dividends'Israel and Thailand plan to promote their cannabis and hemp industries as economic forecasts point to potential huge dividends. "The Israeli cannabis market continues to grow and by 2024 is expected to reach around US$2.4 billion," she said. Deloitte Israel Tax and Incentives leader Nadal Gil said the global cannabis market would generate sales of US$132 billion by 2028. Thanks to technology and innovation, Israel was the ideal place for cannabis research, he said. The country had more than 116,000 cannabis patients, and all academic institutions had cannabis research underway, he said.
