Bank of Thailand (BoT) Deputy Governor Bandid Nijathaworn on Monday said the central bank has invited property developers to discuss and exchange information on the overall economy and the property business outlook since the sector, which accounts for 5 per cent of the gross domestic product (GDP), is considered a key to the country’s economic recovery.
