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 crisis 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

COMMENT

 

Ampacet  [Thailand] Co., Ltd.  has  served  Ampacet  Asia’s  headquarters,  providing  a  technical,  administrative  and  financial  function  due  to  an  expanding  sales  in  this  region.  The company has the full  capability to produce full range of white and  additive masterbatches,  with  an  emphasis  on  specialty  products,  which  has  a  better  position  to  serve  the  Asian  market.

 

Since  establishment,  customers  have  relied  on  Ampacet  for  consistency  of  product  quality.  Ampacet  masterbatches  are  recognized worldwide  for  their quality  and  consistency. 

 

In  2012,  the demand of  petrochemical products in Asia  has drastically  declined  especially    in  Republic  of  China.   Subject  reported  slightly  dropped  of  sales  revenue  in  2012,  while  its  sales  in  2013  remained  still.    Generally,  its  business  prospect  this  year  is  still  promising  despite  of  a  political  unrest  and  low  consumer  spending.
