Prachai promises to triple economic growth
Matchima Thipataya Party leader Prachai Leophairatana promised yesterday to issue Bt1 trillion in treasury bonds to finance his mega-projects in order to boost economic growth to 15 per cent from around 4 per cent within one year.

"I will improve the business climate by inducing gross domestic product [GDP] to grow 15 per cent with domestic investment of Bt1 trillion," he said.
Prachai made the pledge while leading his election candidates on a campaign trail to meet constituents along Silom Road. He said his party had mapped out tangible plans to boost GDP, dismissing scepticism about his promise.
