Our guest and host of honor was the Governor of the Austrian National Bank (Oesterreichische Nationalbank), Professor Robert Holzmann. Together with Thomas Steiner, Josef Meichenitsch, Daniel Nageler and Rudolf Kaschnitz he visited Bangkok as the final stop after high-level financial meetings in Hongkong and Singapore.
Besides the topics of stablecoins, digitalcurrencies for centralbanks as well as cybersecurity, the economic relations between Thailand and Austria as well as the EU - Thailand Free Trade Agreement were also discussed. With Thailand being the Number 1 location in ASEAN for Austrian manufacturing facilities this is of particular interest for our companies doing business in Asia.
Productive meetings with Sethaput Suthiwartnarueput, Governor of the Bank of Thailand, the The World Bank office in Thailand, European Union delegation to Thailand and much more preceded the luncheon attended by Austrian business representatives, board members of Thai banks as well as fintech and cryptocurrency startups.
The economic relationship between Thailand and Austria is strong and we expect it to grow even stronger in the years to come with ASEAN having 600 mio. inhabitants, a growing middle class and major investments in infrastructure and digitalisation.
