Mr Pakorn shakes hands with Mr Li after signing a memorandum of understanding to strengthen Thailand-China capital market collaboration. "This collaboration is a significant starting point to help develop both the capital market and SMEs of the two countries under the China-Thailand SME Capital Market Service Initiative framework," said SET president Pakorn Peetathawatchai. The collaboration will also arrange business matching and physical roadshows to promote Thai and Chinese securities' growth potential in both countries. Pattera Dilokrungthirapop, chairwoman of the Association of Securities Companies, said a strong private sector underpins Thailand's economy. Investment returns generated from the Thai capital market have not been substantial compared with other bourses in emerging countries, but Thailand's stock market has provided sustainable returns and is considered a safe haven attracting foreign fund flows, Mrs Pattera said.
