Poll: interest burden concerns business operators
Business operators said interest burden is still the most negative factor to their operations, according to a poll result released on Friday.
The Chamber Business Poll of the University of Thai Chamber of Commerce showed that 85 per cent of respondents said interest rates are the most important obstacle, followed by oil prices and political instability.
The poll was conducted during July 14-17, fetching responses from 808 operators.
The respondents also asked the government to stabilise the baht, which plays the highest role in delaying new investment in the 12-month period. They urged the government to cut policy rates by 50-100 basis points if available measures are not working.
