THAILAND - ECONOMIC OVERVIEW

 

With a relatively well-developed infrastructure, a free-enterprise economy, and generally pro-investment policies, Thailand is highly dependent on international trade, with exports accounting for about two-thirds of GDP. Thailand’s exports include electronics, agricultural commodities, automobiles and parts, and processed foods. The industry and service sectors produce about 90% of GDP. The agricultural sector, comprised mostly of small-scale farms, contributes only 10% of GDP but employs about one-third of the labor force. Thailand has attracted an estimated 3.0-4.5 million migrant workers, mostly from neighboring countries.

 

Over the last few decades, Thailand has reduced poverty substantially. In 2013, the Thai Government implemented a nationwide 300 baht (roughly $10) per day minimum wage policy and deployed new tax reforms designed to lower rates on middle-income earners.

 

Thailand’s economy is recovering from slow growth during the years since the 2014 coup. Thailand’s economic fundamentals are sound, with low inflation, low unemployment, and reasonable public and external debt levels. Tourism and government spending - mostly on infrastructure and short-term stimulus measures – have helped to boost the economy, and The Bank of Thailand has been supportive, with several interest rate reductions.

 

Over the longer-term, household debt levels, political uncertainty, and an aging population pose risks to growth.

The company's Account Receivable Ratio is calculated as 5.09 and 8.65 in 2017 and 2016 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 2017 decreased from 2016. This would suggest the company had deteriorated 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 69 days at the end of 2016 to 80 days at the end of 2017. This represents a negative trend. And Inventory turnover has decreased from 5.26 times in year 2016 to 4.56 times in year 2017.

 

The company's Total Asset Turnover is calculated as 1.79 times and 2.23 times in 2017 and 2016 respectively. This ratio is determined by dividing total assets into total sales turnover.
