Veerathai Santiprabhob, a former economist at the International Monetary Fund, has been named the new governor at the Bank of Thailand.
Veerathai, 45, takes charge Oct. 1 after Prasarn Trairatvorakul steps down following a five-year term that ends Sept. 30. Finance Minister Sommai Phasee’s selection received Cabinet approval Tuesday and still needs a formal endorsement from the king, Minister of Justice Paiboon Koomchaya said.
