BANGKOK -- The Stock Exchange of Thailand will focus on courting new listings in the country's most competitive industries, such as health care and the automotive supply chain, as well as improving shareholder value at listed companies in an effort to shield the bourse from domestic political uncertainties that have emerged in recent weeks, its new president said.
The SET's main index has been on a downward trend since Oct. 21, after the Election Commission accepted a petition to dissolve the ruling Pheu Thai party. It nearly breached 1,500 points, the highest level in a year, on Oct. 17, following a surprise interest rate cut by the Bank of Thailand.
