BANGKOK - Italian-Thai Development Pcl (ITD), Thailand’s biggest construction company by sales, rose to the highest level in more than two years after Japan expressed interest in partnering the company in a Myanmar port project.
The shares climbed 3% to 5.20 baht as of 12.11pm in Bangkok trading, on course for the highest close since November 2010. The stock earlier jumped as much as 5%. Thailand’s benchmark SET Index (SET) added 0.8%.
