The aim is to share with the general public key findings from recent research conducted by economists at the BOT on this important

topic, the central bank said in a statement yesterday.

The BOT said that as economies and financial markets have been increasingly linked globally, a small open developing economy such as Thailand, which largely relies on international trade and investment, could inevitably be affected by increasing volatility.

"The challenge is how to formulate appropriate strategies in a way that yields the utmost advantages of globalisation to the nation," the statement said.

At the final session of the seminar, there will be a panel discussion joined by experts from the public and private sectors: Pisit Leeahtam, a member of the National Economic and Social Advisory Council, Prasarn Trairatvorakul, president of Kasikornbank, Supavud Saicheua, managing director of Phatra Securities, and Atchana Waiquamdee, deputy governor of the BOT.

BOT Deputy Governor Bandid Nijathaworn will moderate the panel discussion.
