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. 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 in 2013 implemented a nation-wide 300 baht ($10) per day minimum wage policy and deployed 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 recession severely cut Thailand's exports, with most sectors experiencing double-digit drops. In late 2011 Thailand's recovery was interrupted by historic flooding in the industrial areas in Bangkok and its five surrounding provinces, crippling the manufacturing sector. The government 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 following seven years. This was expected to lead to an economic upsurge but growth has remained slow, in part due to ongoing political unrest and resulting uncertainties. Spending on infrastructure will require re-approval once a new government is seated.

COMMENT

 

The  Company  is  the  largest  producer of  mixedC4 products  in  the  Southeast Asian Region.  BST  debuted commercial  operations  in 1995 and  expanded  its  production capacity in 1998 to  correspond to  the  increasing demand  in petrochemical  industry.


The Company’s products  include  Butadiene, Butene-1,  MTBE and C4  Raffinates. These products  are  major  raw  materials  of  such  downstream  petrochemical  industry  as  the manufacturing  of  synthetic  rubbers  and  plastic  resins,  which  are essential  parts  of  our daily  life  in  the  form  of  medical devices,  food  containers,  tires,  shoes,  auto parts, electric  appliances,  sports  equipment  and  etc.

 

Due  to  the  fire  incident  in  July  2012,  the  subject  had  been  forced  to stop  its  production  temporarily,  therefore  the  subject  ended  the  year  with  negative  outcome.  

 

However,  the  subject’s  business  performance  has  gradually  improved  in  2013-2014.  

 

 

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

            Bht.   2,100,000,000   on  November  22,  1999
