Korn Chatikavanij Biography

Korn Chatikavanij is one of the most popular and richest Celebrity who was born on February 19, 1964 in London, United Kingdom. Korn was born in Princess Beatrice Hospital, London, England, to Mr. Kraisri (Thai: ไกรศรี ) and Mrs. Rumpa Chatikavanij (née Brahmopala). His father was Commissioner of the Customs Department, Commissioner of the Revenue Department, and Director of the Fiscal Policy Office. His grandfather, Phraya Athikarnprakat (Thai: พระยาอธิกรณ์ประกาศ ), was Police Commissioner and a member of the Privy Council for King Prajadhipok (Rama VII). His uncle, Kasem Chatikavanij (Thai: เกษม ), was the founder of the Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand (EGAT). The first ancestor of the Chatikavanijs was Siang sae Sol, a Chinese immigrant from Fujian Province who came to Siam around the 1770s. Siang’s grandson, Jard Sae Sol commissioned the construction of a Chinese-styled house known as Sou Heng Tai in Talad Noi during the early- 19th century.

On the night of 19 September 2006, the Thaksin government was overthrown by 2006 coup. Korn expressed his opinion that he was “sad” and felt that it was “understandable for any democracy to denounce coups as a concept in general”, however he felt that the coup had to be examined “within the context of the Thai political situation.” Korn was reelected in the post-coup 2007 elections, but the Democrat Party remained in the opposition after losing to the People’s Power Party. During both Samak Sundaravej and Somchai Wongsawat’s brief terms as prime minister, Korn served as shadow finance minister for the Democrat Party.

As then Chair of the ASEAN Finance Ministers’ meetings in 2009, Korn helped create the Chiang Mai Initiative Multilateralization (CMIM), a regional foreign reserve pool to remedy currency flow shortages.

Korn’s significant achievements as Minister of Finance include: a 117-billion baht stimulus package initiated in January 2009 and a second stimulus package (Thai: แผนปฎิบัติการไทยเข้มแข็ง ), valued at over 1.4 trillion baht in 2010–2012. Most of the funds were spent improving infrastructure in Thailand, especially irrigation and transportation, public health, education, and tourism.

Korn left JP Morgan in October 2004, joined the Democrat Party to run for office, and subsequently went on to win a seat in Bangkok’s 2nd constituency (Sathorn – Yannawa) in the general elections of February 2005. After the defeat of the Democrat Party, Abhisit Vejjajiva replaced Banyat Banthadthan as Democrat Party leader. Korn was appointed Deputy Secretary General and Secretary for Economic Affairs of the Party. He became a vocal member of the opposition to the government of Thaksin Shinawatra during the 2005-2006 Thai political crisis. During the same period, Korn played a major role in examining the economic policies of Thaksin’s government including the Shin Corporation Deal Scandal.
