Asst. Prof. Dr. Santi said in assuming his post that: “I have the will to develop Thailand’s bond market to become a high quality and internationally recognized secondary market, so that it will be a key driver for the overall development and stability of the economy. This will also be in line with the government’s policy in strengthening the Thai capital market as well as in preparing for the growth of the Asian bond market in the future.
The Future development of the BEX will include product diversification covering all types of debt instruments. This is regarded as an important task as this will create a quality supply for the market. The systems should be able to accommodate diverse demands of investors. The greater the strength of the bond market, the more the economy will gain and the more efficiently the investors can manage their portfolios.”
Asst. Prof. Dr. Santi holds a Ph.D. in Business Administration (Finance) from the Joint Doctoral Program in Business Administration (JDBA), a joint program between Chulalongkorn University, Thammasat University, and the National Institute of Development Administration.
