Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra met with more than 100 business leaders and company CEOs yesterday to assure them his government would promote good governance and create transparency in all state projects.

He also stressed that the economy would grow 5 per cent this year.

“For instance, we will be introducing e-auctions for all government projects to make the bidding process transparent,” he told the gathering.

Thaksin was meeting business leaders for the first time since steering his Thai Rak Thai Party to a landslide election victory three months ago.

He invited them to Government House to discuss their growing concerns over the sagging economy.
