SP2 • Of THB1.566 trillion, THB676 billion (43%) is allocated for logistic projects such as mass transit, roads, aviation and railways. Irrigation investment takes nearly 15% of the budget with nearly 35,000 projects. It claims to create 350,000 jobs over three years. • Energy investment gets THB213 billion. It is worth noting that the budget allocated to the Southern area is relatively high at Bt100bn. Southern GDP accounts for 9-10% of the country. • Of the THB100 billion, THB65 billion will go to five provinces in the deep South.
Source of Funds • Source of funds of SP2 will come from the budget (39.2%), domestic borrowing (17%), foreign borrowing (27.1%) and other income (16.6%). • The package will result in an increase in government borrowing of THB 692 billion or about 7.6% of 2008 GDP. This might cause public debt to exceed 50% of GDP.

What has happened? • Change in the yield curve shape (from hump in shorter than 1-year to normal shape) • Steepened yield curve has been observed since the first announcement of the SP1. After that, the curve was upward parallel shifted.
What will be in the future? • It is expected to observe the increase in policy rate by Q2/2010. • The liquidity of secondary market might not speed up rapidly like it was in 2007 and 2008. • More supply ---> positive effect • Increasing yield ---> negative effect
What will be in the future? • Benchmark, yield curve will be better estimated. Private sector will benefit from the clearer benchmarks. • There will be more risk-management instrument in the market. TFEX is going to launch interest rate futures by 2010.
What should be prepared? • The supporting functions in bond market must be improved, i.e. the CRA, credit enhancement mechanism. • Tactfully add more players in the bond market. Government securities might be more used as vehicle in liquidity management for private sector.
What should be prepared? • If less interest rate volatility is observed, it is expected to see more issuance of long term government securities. • The market will be deeper. ILB, FRB will be issued more. • Retail investor may be able to access bond market easier.
