thailand - ECONOMIC OVERVIEW
With a well-developed infrastructure, a free-enterprise economy,
generally pro-investment policies, and strong export industries, Thailand
enjoyed solid growth from 2000 to 2007 - averaging more than 4% per year - as
it recovered from the Asian financial crisis of 1997-98. Thai exports - mostly
machinery and electronic components, agricultural commodities, and jewelry -
continue to drive the economy, accounting for more than half of GDP. The global
financial crisis of 2008-09 severely cut Thailand's exports, with most sectors
experiencing double-digit drops. In 2009, the economy contracted 2.3%. In 2010,
Thailand's economy expanded 7.8%, its fastest pace since 1995, as exports
rebounded from their depressed 2009 level. Steady economic growth at just below
4% during the first three quarters of 2011 was interrupted by historic flooding
in October and November in the industrial areas north of Bangkok, crippling the
manufacturing sector and leading to a revised growth rate of only 0.1% for the
year. The industrial sector is poised to recover from the second quarter of
2012 onward, however, and the government anticipates the economy will probably
grow between 5.5 and 6.5% for 2012, while private sector forecasts range
between 3.8% and 5.7%.
