Date 28/12/2004

Kittiratt Na-Ranong, the President of the SET, as the secretary of Federation of Thai Capital Markets Organizations (FeTCO), disclosed that the SET will provide the first donation of THB10.5mln to assist the victims of the Tsunami.

He said, “Starting today, the FeTCO will gather funds from organizations within the capital market as well as throughout the entire private sector. The FeTCO will cooperate with any organization in need of assistance to help send money and necessary items to the victims. Meanwhile, a list of organizations is being compiled.”

The damage from the catastrophe is greater than expected. Support from only the government will not be sufficient. The FeTCO urges that the private sector take part in the relief effort. As FeTCO secretary, the SET’s president stated that the SET will cooperate with all organizations in need of assistance in order to provide the quickest possible support for the victims.

Any donation will be greatly appreciated. Interested persons can donate to the Professor Sangvian Indaravijaya Foundation, Bank of Asia, Klongtoey Branch, savings account no. 051-2-15676-1. All proceeds will go to help the victims of the Tsunami. For more information, contact the S-E-T Call Center at 0 2229-2222.
