Acting prime minister Prawit Wongsuwon, who earlier this week called for measures to halt the baht’s slide, said on Thursday the government won’t meddle with the central bank and how it handles the currency.
Gen Prawit, who is occupying the PM's post pending a Sept 30 Constitutional Court ruling on the tenure of Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha, said he had directed Finance Minister Arkhom Termpittayapaisith to “only talk” to the Bank of Thailand about the baht’s recent slump.
