SET president Patareeya Benjapholchai said in a statement yesterday that the "International Road Show in Japan", held in Tokyo this week, had been a success. She said institutional investors, including fund managers, had expressed interest in companies listed on the SET.

SET chairman Vijit Supinit said in Japan that the road show also marked the 120th anniversary of the Thailand-Japan relationship.

He added that several economic indicators had shown Thailand's solid fundamentals. Other positive factors are the government's planned investmentin mega-projects, listed companies' earnings, foreign net buying and the SET's low price-to-earnings ratio.

Patareeya added that institutional investors who participated in the road show were from many sectors, including banking, insurance, joint ventures, asset management and consumer loan providers. The most frequently asked questions were about Thailand's economic direction and political situation.

The listed firms which participated included Bangkok Bank, C P Foods, Minor International and Thai Oil.
