Thai commerce portfolio to ensure at least 15% export growth in 2012
BANGKOK, August 17 (TNA) - Newly-appointed Thai Commerce Minister Kittirat Na-Ranong has vowed that his ministry will ensure at least 15 per cent growth in Thai exports next year and will bring the country's inflation under control.
Kittirat told reporters after taking his office for the first day, along with his two deputies, Poom Sarapol and Siriwat Kajornprasart, that he expects the Thai export sector and domestic consumption will remain two major forces to further propel national economic growth, with practical measures to be implemented to control inflation and consumer products' prices, particularly rice prices.
Kittirat, who is also a new deputy Thai premier in charge of economic affairs, promised that his commerce portfolio will take care of farm and consumer product prices, including rising pork prices, and will create a fair trade system on the domestic market based on the market mechanism with no profiteering or exploitation against local consumers.
The new Thai commerce minister said that his ministry will also carry on measures to help local consumers shoulder rising prices of specific products, including those of rice after the launch of the new government's rice mortgage scheme late this year to boost local farmers' income, through his ministry's blue-flag cheaper products’ program and others.
