Thai Bank shares heat up as investor wariness eases
Article Abstract:
The Thai banking sector appears to be reviving after a prolonged slump, with the bank stock index regaining 20% of a nearly 50% decline experienced between mid-Jun 1999 and mid-Aug 1999. The industry's revitalization has particularly benefited Krung Thai Bank, which is likely the country's most troubled financial institution. The government's action in firing all but one member of the bank's directorial board encouraged local investors, who pushed its share price up by 28% on Sep 8, 1999.
