Towards wealth in the digital age The Economic Reporters Association, together with Bangkok Bank and the University of the Thai Chamber of Commerce, organized the 18th Advanced Economic Reporters Capacity Development Project 2024 on the topic of 'Unlocking Financial Potential for Digital Wealth' at the University of the Thai Chamber of Commerce from, 17 August 2024 at Building 10, 1st floor, University of the Thai Chamber of Commerce.

The training period is 6 weeks to enhance knowledge and understanding and follow the progress of the evolution of the financial and investment industry in the current era where digi tal technology plays an increasingly important role and encourages reporters to develop their potential in presenting interesting information and knowledge through new media formats that effectively create awareness among a wide range of target groups. Ms. Pajanee Kongkhalai, Assistant Managing Director of Bangkok Bank Public Company Limited, said that currently, the word 'digital' is probably the new normal for our daily lives, which is becoming more familiar with various innovations driven by digital, whether it be digital devices, digital systems, or even finance, which has been developed into a digital world, both in the familiar form such as digital wallets and digital banking, and up to the more complex digital financial world such as Cryptocurrency, Blockchain, and AI, which will enter a new dimension that uses digital to help think, analyze, and make decisions no less than human intelligence. The next thing to think about is that the traditional financial knowledge that we used to use is quite diffic ult to understand. Even basic things like saving money and borrowing money are a big problem because many people still don't quite understand it. We still promote Financial Literacy a lot, but today everyone is facing a new challenge because we have to combine the digital context with finance in order to define or explain finance in the new era that is more advanced. Therefore, things that are already difficult seem to be getting more difficult. Bangkok Bank believes that 'Project to develop the potential of senior economic journalists' will help us. 'Unlock old limitations' and 'create new potential' that should be required for the financial world in the digital age. And of course, with the professional duties of the media Therefore, we believe that we will play an important role in helping to pass on this correct knowledge and understanding to the public at large. This will be beneficial to driving the modern financial world together in a strong manner. Assoc.
