This means that, we will be able to take care of systemically important financial firms outside current regulatory purview if the situation warrants. Ladies and Gentleman, Lastly, let me share with you what I see as major challenges for the maintenance of financial stability in Thailand. While we may have a head start over many countries, we are not in anyway complacent. In particular, three important challenges loom on the horizon. First, the global economy, while doing much better than a year ago, still have many vulnerabilities which could give rise to the next round of global financial instability. Most importantly, the public debt problems in certain European countries constitute a major risk factor. At the other end of the spectrum, the growth and interest rate disparity between Asia and advanced economies amidst the still abundant global liquidity from the unprecedented monetary policy stimulus around the world could attract de-stabilizing capital inflows that will put pressure on exchange rate, encourage a buildup of financial institutions’ short-term debt, and fuel bubbles in various sectors. Second, in light of the possible buildups of financial imbalances, there is a need to further enhance the ability to identify potential threats early on. For example, at least in its early phase, bubbles are almost always associated with favourable economic fundamentals. Effective monitoring of bubbles therefore calls for better data collection, market intelligence, and risk analysis. While timely bubble identification remains very difficult, the good news is that better identification techniques are being developed and will continue to improve.
