Q&A: Prasarn Trairatvorakul on raising rates and a rising baht
The recently appointed governor of Thailand's central bank has had an eventful first few months in the role, including a raising of the Bank of Thailand's benchmark rates by 25 basis points in December and having to closely monitor the baht, which caused unease among exporters by gaining 11% against the US dollar in 2010. He tells The Banker how these moves will affect his plans for 2011 and beyond.
