Abstract
This report provides an up-to-date
assessment of the investment climate of Thailand. As the
socio-economic framework in which enterprises operate
including infrastructure, policies and regulations improving
the investment climate is helpful for productivity and
economic growth. The report is based mainly on the results
of the second round of the Thailand Productivity and
Investment Climate Surveys (PICS) carried out in 2007 and on
a comparison with results from the first round (conducted
between March 2004 and February 2005). Some 1043
establishments from nine manufacturing sectors (food
processing, textiles, garments, automobile parts, electronic
parts, electrical appliances, rubber/plastics,
furniture/wood, and machinery) in six regions (North,
Central, metropolitan Bangkok, East, Northeast, and South)
were surveyed. This report aims to present policymakers with
detailed information on key business climate indicators and
their relationship to Thai economic performance.
Thailand's rapid growth and transition to middle-income
country status in the past two decades was mainly the result
of the rapid increase in employment and capital goods.
