        "content": "<p>Bangkok (ANTARA) - The recent floods hitting Bangkok and several\nprovinces in Thailand have the potential to cause economic losses\nranging from 6 billion to 12 billion baht (approximately IDR 3.2\ntrillion to IDR 6.3 trillion), depending on how quickly the floodwaters\nrecede.<\/p>\n<p>According to the President of the University of the Thai Chamber of\nCommerce (UTCC), Thanavath Phonvichai, data from the Department of\nDisaster Prevention and Mitigation shows that 27 provinces have been\naffected, with much of the inundated area consisting of residential\nsettlements and several local business sites.<\/p>\n<p>According to Phonvichai, estimated economic losses in Bangkok and\nsurrounding provinces could reach 4 billion to 9 billion baht\n(approximately IDR 2.13 trillion to IDR 4.79 trillion), provided that\ndrainage operations are completed by Thursday (1\/10).<\/p>\n<p>However, a decline in consumer purchasing power, travel disruptions,\nand the implementation of remote working systems are also contributing\nto regional economic losses.<\/p>\n<p>Flooding in several other provinces has primarily impacted\nagricultural land, though it has not disrupted operations within\nindustrial estates.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf the situation in most areas can be resolved quickly and\nconditions return to normal by 1 October 2026, then significant losses\ncan be mitigated,\u201d said Phonvichai.<\/p>\n<p>He added that economic activities could recover rapidly once the\nfloods have subsided.<\/p>",
