In a new podcast collaboration with The Business Times, Simon Tay’s Political Café sees SIIA Chairman Simon Tay explore the political forces shaping business decisions, supply chains, and growth in a fragmented global economy.

The second episode, “Thailand’s next test: Stability is not enough“, builds on Prof. Tay’s Politics That Matter column on “Moving Thailand forward: Between stability and reform“.

He is joined by Dr Kirida Bhaopichitr, Vice Minister at Thailand’s Ministry of Commerce, for a candid conversation to unpack what investors should watch next. The conversation ranges from geopolitics and supply chains to household debt, regulatory reform and the changing shape of Thailand’s economy.
