Thai ex-central bank governors warn of interference in chairman selection
BANGKOK - More than 800 leading Thai economists, including four former governors of the Bank of Thailand, warned on Saturday of political interference in selecting the central bank's board chairman, saying it could damage long-term economic stability.
Since taking office last year, the Pheu Thai-led government, now under Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra, has been at loggerheads with the BOT, pressuring the central bank to cut interest rates in the Southeast Asian nation and raise its inflation target.
Government spokesman Jirayu Houngsub declined to comment on the statement. Kittirat did not immediately respond to a request for comment. The board chairman is not involved in rate decisions but heads the panel that chooses policy committee members. The chair will also be involved in selecting the next BOT governor when Sethaput's term ends in September 2025.
