Thailand has appointed Somchai Sujjapongse as the new chairman of the Bank of Thailand, ending a contentious search process that included a failed attempt to nominate a controversial former minister. Somchai, an ex-bureaucrat with a background in economics, was put forth by the Ministry of Finance as a compromise candidate after pushback against the initial choice. His role will influence government monetary policy discussions as the country navigates economic challenges.
