Economy Overview:
With a well-developed infrastructure, a free-enterprise economy, and
pro-investment policies, Thailand appears to have fully recovered from
the 1997-98 Asian Financial Crisis. The country was one of East Asia's
best performers in 2002-04. Boosted by increased consumption and strong
export growth, the Thai economy grew 6.9% in 2003 and 6.1% in 2004
despite a sluggish global economy. Bangkok has pursued preferential
trade agreements with a variety of partners in an effort to boost
exports and to maintain high growth. In 2004, Thailand and the US began
negotiations on a Free Trade Agreement. In late December 2004, a major
tsunami took 8,500 lives in Thailand and caused massive destruction of
property in the southern provinces of Krabi, Phangnga, and Phuket.
Growth slowed to 4.4% in 2005. The downturn can be attributed to high
oil prices, weaker demand from Western markets, severe drought in rural
regions, tsunami-related declines in tourism, and lower consumer
confidence. Moreover, the THAKSIN administration's expansionist economic
policies, including plans for multi-billion-dollar mega-projects in
infrastructure and social development, has raised concerns about fiscal
discipline and the health of financial institutions. On the positive
side, the Thai economy performed well beginning in the third quarter of
2005. Export-oriented manufacturing - in particular automobile
production - and farm output are driving these gains. In 2006, the
economy should benefit from an influx of investment and a revived
tourism sector; however, a possible avian flu epidemic could
significantly harm economic prospects throughout the region.
