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%.

The company's Account Receivable Ratio is calculated as 7.26 and 4.79 in 2011 and 2010 respectively. This ratio measures the efficiency of the company in managing its trade debtors to generate revenue. A lower ratio may indicate over extension and collection problems. Conversely, a higher ratio may indicate an overtly stringent policy. In this case, the company's A/R ratio in 2011 increased from 2010. This would suggest the company had good performance in the management of its debt collections.

 

Inventory Turnover in Days Ratio indicates the liquidity of inventory. It estimates the number of days that it will take to sell the current inventory. Inventory is particularly sensitive to change in business activities. The inventory turnover in days has decreased from 30 days at the end of 2010 to 29 days at the end of 2011. This represents a positive trend. And Inventory turnover has increased from 12.15 times in year 2010 to 12.68 times in year 2011.

 

The company's Total Asset Turnover is calculated as 3.27 times and 2.89 times in 2011 and 2010 respectively. This ratio is determined by dividing total assets into total sales turnover. The ratio measures the activity of the assets and the ability of the firm to generate sales through the use of the assets.
