According to Commerce Minister Porntiva Nakasai, the government is moving ahead with plans to make Thailand the world's trading and manufacturing hub for gems and jewelry by 2013, and extend loans to operators over the next two weeks to improve their liquidity. According to Commerce Ministry statistics, Thailand exported gems and jewelry worth US$8.27 billion or about 274 billion baht last year, a rise of 53.7% from the year before. The sector was the country's third biggest export earner, behind computers and automobiles. Let's hope for the best. Really.
