Thai Oil pushes for talks on sovereign wealth fund

By WATCHARAPONG THONGRUNG

Thai Oil supports a joint discussion of the Bank of Thailand, the Finance Ministry and the Energy Ministry on the establishment of a sovereign wealth fund, which could earn better returns from growing foreign reserves.

Surong Bulakul, chief executive officer of Thai Oil, said that with such fund, Thailand would have a mechanism to manage public-sector risks in the same way as Singapore, Malaysia and South Korea.
