THAILAND - ECONOMIC OVERVIEW

 

With a well-developed infrastructure, a free-enterprise economy, generally pro-investment policies, and strong export industries, Thailand achieved steady growth due largely to industrial and agriculture exports - mostly electronics, agricultural commodities, automobiles and parts, and processed foods. Thailand is trying to maintain growth by encouraging domestic consumption and public investment to offset weak exports in 2012. Unemployment, at less than 1% of the labor force, stands as one of the lowest levels in the world, which puts upward pressure on wages in some industries. Thailand also attracts nearly 2.5 million migrant workers from neighboring countries. The Thai government is implementing a nation-wide 300 baht ($10) per day minimum wage policy and deploying new tax reforms designed to lower rates on middle-income earners. The Thai economy has weathered internal and external economic shocks in recent years. The global economic severely cut Thailand's exports, with most sectors experiencing double-digit drops. In 2009, the economy contracted 2.3%. However, in 2010, Thailand's economy expanded 7.8%, its fastest pace since 1995, as exports rebounded. In late 2011 growth was interrupted by historic flooding in the industrial areas in Bangkok and its five surrounding provinces, crippling the manufacturing sector. Industry recovered from the second quarter of 2012 onward with GDP growth at 5.5% in 2012. The government has approved flood mitigation projects worth $11.7 billion, which were started in 2012, to prevent similar economic damage, and an additional $75 billion for infrastructure over the next seven years with a plan to start in 2013.

The company's Account Receivable Ratio is calculated as 2.71 and 0.00 in 2012 and 0 respectively. This ratio measures the efficiency of the company in managing its trade debtors to generate sale. 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 2012 increased from 0. 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 increased from 0 days at the end of 0 to 652 days at the end of 2012. This represents a negative trend. And Inventory turnover has increased from 0 times in year 0 to 0.56 times in year 2012.

 

 

 

The company's Total Asset Turnover is calculated as 0.03 times and 0 times in 2012 and 0 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.
