Comment: And what if the THB get’s stronger over the coming few months/quarters/years from this current point?
SIRI: maintains 2Q launch plan, 11 residential projects total Bt12b, adding more mid-range SDH Bt5-7m to reap benefits from property stimulus, after government approved measures that extend the price range of houses eligible for a cut in transfer fees (from 2% to 1%) & mortgage registration fees (1% to 0.01%) to homes priced up to Bt7m, up from a ceiling of Bt3m prior.
Comment: It isn’t that SIRI is an amazing developer, just go through the # of units being transferred annually, for SDH’s its barely changed in Bangkok for the past decade, like I’ve said many a time, its just a shift in market share. The smaller players are still dead in the water.

Comment: I mean…if this is the extent that PR firms have to go to try and promote positive news…then the situation must be absolutely awful out there.
