FSG interested in two rail lines

FSG Flagship Maglev Thailand has shown an interest in bidding for parts of the Blue and Purple electric-train projects and is prepared to serve the lines with a magnetic system.

Investment for the two projects has been set at Bt81.74 billion.

FSG is a joint venture between Chinese and Japanese companies. It proposes to invest in the two lines in return for an operating contract of 30-40 years.

SET road show

Deputy Finance Minister Sommai Phasee has resolved to allow the Stock Exchange of Thailand to conduct a road show in Japan.

He said details of the road show would be finalised next week, adding that it would be a good opportunity to explain the government reshuffle to Japanese investors and how little impact it would have on economic policy.

Investment in the five electric-train routes will be one of the topics he will discuss with Japan's finance minister.
