THAILAND - ECONOMIC OVERVIEW

 

With a well-developed infrastructure, a free-enterprise economy, generally pro-investment policies, and strong export industries, Thailand has historically had a strong economy due in part to industrial and agriculture exports - mostly electronics, agricultural commodities, automobiles and parts, and processed foods. The economy experienced slow growth and declining exports in 2014, in part due to domestic political turmoil and sluggish global demand. With full employment, Thailand attracts an estimated 4 million migrant workers from neighboring countries, and faces labor shortages. Following the May 2014 coup d’tat, tourism decreased 6-7% but is beginning to recover. The household debt to GDP ratio is over 80%. 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 baht has remained stable.

COMMENT

 

In  2014,  the  decline  of  steel  production  and  usage  due  to the decrease in domestic demand were  resulted  from  domestic  political  conflict  affecting the  private  sector  investment  to decline  and  the  government  investment  policy  to  slowdown  or to halt.  Consumers  were more  precautious  in spending  as  the  price of commodities  was  considerably  high.

 

As  a  result  of  the  slow  recovery  of  domestic  economy,  the  weakness  of  income  earned  in  the  agricultural sector coupled  with  the  slowdown  of world  economy and exporting,   steel sheet  production  and  use  in  the  downstream  industries  are  expected  to  be stable  in 2015 e.g. construction,  automotive,  electrical appliances,  and  furniture.
