02 SEPTEMBER 2013 - BANGKOK, THAILAND: A man watches real time changes in the Thai stock market on the stock ticker at Asia Plus Securities headquarters in central Bangkok. The Thai stock market has declined more than 20% from its 2013 high as data as Thailand entered a recession in the second quarter. The loss of value in the Stock Exchange of Thailand (SET) is the greatest sell off since the end of the Asian financial crisis in 1998. Foreign investors have sold more than $1 billion of local shares this month amid signs of slowing regional economic growth and speculation that the U.S. Federal Reserve will soon cut its stimulus.
