13 Sept 11:23 Key points summarised by AI

Ancient Thai statues, the "Golden Boy" and "Kneeling Lady," are now on public display at the National Museum after their repatriation from The Met in New York.
The 900-year-old bronze artifacts, depicting a Hindu god and a high-class court lady, were returned following decades of being housed abroad.
Their repatriation stems from an agreement with The Met, prompted by their connection to the late art dealer Douglas Latchford, who was indicted for trafficking looted antiquities.

Thailand secured a US$200 million loan from the World Bank to significantly invest in clean energy and low-carbon urban development initiatives.
The program aims to drive clean energy funding and low-carbon growth, ensuring a just transition for small and medium-sized enterprises, workers, farmers, and local communities.
Channelled through the Export-Import Bank of Thailand, the loan will fund energy efficiency upgrades in public buildings and industrial areas, including rooftop solar installations and electrical system modernizations, reducing initial capital burdens via Energy Service Companies (ESCOs).
