News, Pavida Pananond, Published on 19/04/2016
» While the so-called Panama Papers have sent shockwaves through the corridors of power and wealth the world over, their ramifications for Thailand have yet to be laid bare.

Thai economy out of sync, out of sight?
Oped, Pavida Pananond, Published on 27/08/2021
» The changing nature of globalisation, compounded by pandemic-induced disruptions require a rethink of Thailand's place and direction in the global economy. Already hampered by pre-Covid trends of global slowdown in trade and investment, the economy is facing tougher challenges as the pandemic has forced multinational companies to reconsider their supply chain configuration. The changing contours of the global economy on the one hand and ongoing political tensions at home that have delayed much-needed structural reforms on the other are becoming a perfect storm that could blow away Thailand's chances of maintaining its once central role in Southeast Asia's economic dynamism.

Mega-merger risks Thai digital future
Oped, Pavida Pananond, Published on 26/11/2021
» The Charoen Pokphand (CP) Group is on the move again to swell further in size, weight and power over the market. Having recently acquired Tesco's operations when the British retailer sold out and exited Thailand and Malaysia, CP is now aiming to consolidate its grip on the telecommunications industry in a planned merger between its True Corporation and Total Access Communications (DTAC), the local subsidiary of Norway's Telenor.

News, Pavida Pananond, Published on 25/01/2016

The Asean Economic Community -- with its three integrative pillars of political and security, economic and socio-cultural -- is much less than meets the eye on paper. Asean integration is still a pipe-dream, an ongoing project in fits and starts that has a canny way of projecting more than it delivers.
