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

 

The  company  is  a subsidiary  of  Tata  Steel [Thailand]  Public  Co.,  Ltd.  who  is  the  biggest  steel  maker  in  Thailand at Bo Win, Chonburi  province. The  principle  activity  is the manufacturing  and  distributing  of  round and deformed  bars  and  wire  rod  for  use  in  steel,  reinforced  concrete  for  construction  industry. 

 

In  2014  the  country  saw  prolonged  political  uncertainty  that  had  a  significant  impact on the business  sentiment.  This  coupled  with  cheap  import of  wire  rods  in  abundance  from  China posed  serious  challenges  for  the  company.    However,  the  company  still  maintains  the  leadership   position  in   product  segments  like  deformed  bars  and  wire rods.

The company's Account Receivable Ratio is calculated as 50.37 and 40.33 in 2014 and 2013 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 2014 increased from 2013. 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 29 days at the end of 2013 to 22 days at the end of 2014. This represents a positive trend. And Inventory turnover has increased from 12.68 times in year 2013 to 16.66 times in year 2014.

 

The company's Total Asset Turnover is calculated as 4.14 times and 3.26 times in 2014 and 2013 respectively. This ratio is determined by dividing total assets into total sales turnover.
