Transforming
Thailand: Choices for the New Millennium
June 2000
"The EAAU report is a comprehensive analysis of the bilateral commercial realities for Australian business in Thailand. As such, it is an essential tool for the Australian investor and those updating their existing strategies for operating in this important market." John K Connor, President, Australia-Thailand Business Council.
Thailand is recovering strongly from the crisis, but its economic policy making is at the crossroads; choices the government makes now will determine growth over the next decade. For Australian business, Thailand's, choices will shape commercial opportunities in ASEAN's second largest market.
The Thai Government responded effectively to the crisis. However, further deep and ongoing reforms are needed in key economic and legal institutions to ensure Thailand achieves its full growth potential and is insulated from further major shocks.
This timely and in-depth report analyses major changes in Thailand's post crisis policies and business environment. It highlights potential opportunities for Australian exporters and investors, analysing successful sectoral export and investment strategies. Finally, it assesses major financial and corporate restructuring developments, trade and foreign investment reforms, and privatisation progress, and flags the key signposts to future policy directions.
