In October 2006 CPN was considering leasing/subleasing parcel of land, retail shopping complex and two office buildings at CentralPlaza Pinklao to CPNRF. After that The Bank of Thailand ("BOT") implemented an Unremunerated Reserve Requirement on short-term capital inflows ("Short-Term URR"), which applied to foreign investments in property funds.
