Welcome to a riveting journey through the maze of modern economics, where the game of numbers plays out with the same suspense and intrigue as a gripping novel. In the heart of Thailand’s bustling Government House just this Tuesday, a tale of daunting debt and bold ambition unfolded, starring none other than the distinguished Srettha, our protagonist with a plan so audacious it could flip the script on the country’s financial screenplay. As the press eagerly lined up, recorders in hand, Srettha conveyed a figure that could make even the most stoic economist’s eyebrows climb—NPLs, or non-performing loans, looming large at a colossal 90% of Thailand’s GDP. Now, before you dash for the calculators, that’s an economic Everest amounting to a staggering 16 trillion baht. Yet, amidst this daunting backdrop, Srettha’s optimism shone like a beacon of hope, laying out a gallant four-year quest to eradicate this fiendish debt beast.…
Picture this: The modern world is a symphony of screens, sounds, and cyberspace—a kaleidoscope of media that dazzles and buzzes around us 24/7. Now, imagine two different generations trying to dance to the rhythm of this digital orchestra. Enter the characters in our story: Gen New, the avant-garde cohort of youthful vibrant souls born into a world where the click, tweet, and swipe are as natural as breathing—these are the millennials and zoomers, those ushered in between the years of stardust, 1980 and 2015. Then we have the Gen Now group, the steadfast baby boomers and the exuberant Gen Xers who arrived on the stage from 1946 to 1980, with an unshakable loyalty to the classic charm of television, the lullaby that cradled many to sleep. The scene is set with the warm, familiar glow of a television set. It’s the hearth that 85% of Gen Now gathers around—passing popcorn,…

In an age where technology seamlessly intertwines with our everyday lives, dark clouds have started to gather on the horizon, manifesting as deceitful scams that have enticed and ensnared unsuspecting victims. The always-vigilant DES Minister Prasert Chantararuangthong, in a move reminiscent of a modern-day tech Sherlock Holmes, brought to light the distressing volume of scam reports—some 80,000 in the past month alone—filed with the intrepid heroes at the Anti-Online Scam Operation Centre (AOC 1441). The narrative that unfolded before the public this past Tuesday was Hwarang-worthy drama, where the minister, wielding his digital dauntlessness, declared an unprecedented focus on a particular breed of telephonic tyranny. The plot thickened as our protagonist revealed that an extraordinary number of phone numbers—each making over a hundred calls per day—sat squarely in the crosshairs of justice. Seeking to deliver a swift counterblow, the operation from Saturday to Monday flagged more than 12,500 such numbers,…

Picture the world economy as an ocean liner, gracefully navigating through calm seas, but recently finding itself in somewhat choppy waters. This analogy paints the picture that Burin Adulwattana, the esteemed Managing Director and Chief Economist at the illustrious Kasikorn Research Center Co., Ltd. (or KResearch as they’re fondly referred), sketched for us. He illuminated the fact that the global economic currents are slowing, with the winds of global trade not blowing as powerfully as before. This shift is most noticeable in the manufacturing realm across our vast globe, but more so in powerhouse nations like China and Germany, where export is the name of the game. The story spins further; it turns out China, with its monumental economic presence, is currently stumbling due to a stumbling property sector, causing domestic demand to quake in its boots. Meanwhile, across the Pacific in the United States, the Federal Reserve, helmed by…
