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%.

Net Profit Margin is the indicator of the company's efficiency in that net profit takes into consideration all expenses of the company. A low profit margin indicates a low margin of safety, higher risk that a decline in sales will erase profits and result in a net loss. The company's figure is -0.07%. When compared with the industry average, the ratio of the company was lower.

 

Return on Assets measures how efficiently profits are being generated from the assets employed in the business when compared with the ratios of firms in a similar business. A low ratio in comparison with industry averages indicates an inefficient use of business assets. When compared with the industry average, it was lower, the company's figure is -0.08%.

The Current Ratio is to ascertain whether a company's short-term assets are readily available to pay off its short-term liabilities. The company's figure is 1.12 times in 2011, decrease from 1.18 times, then it is generally considered to have good short-term financial strength. When compared with the industry average, the ratio of the company was lower.

 

The Quick Ratio is a liquidity indicator that further refines the current ratio by measuring the amount of the most liquid current assets there are to cover current liabilities. The company's figure is 0.8 times in 2011, decrease from 0.91 times, then the company has not enough current assets that presumably can be quickly converted to cash for pay financial obligations.

 

The Cash Conversion Cycle measures the number of days a company's cash is tied up in the production and sales process of its operations and the benefit from payment terms from its creditors. It meant the company could survive when no cash inflow was received from sale for 195 days.
