Thai PM's administration discusses controlling central bank, considering Bank of Thailand's board chairman role.

Thai PM Srettha Thavisin's administration is discussing ways to exert more control over the country's central bank, following repeated clashes on economic policy. The Bank of Thailand's board chairman role, opening up in September, is under discussion. The chairman doesn't dictate policy but can evaluate the BOT governor's performance and influence the Monetary Policy Committee. Potential candidates include Kittiratt Na-Ranong and Supavud Saicheua.
