  • Thai News Update: 21 May 2020
    Thai News Update: 21 May 2020 1. Baht is Asia’s top outperformer on tourism rebound bet Source: Bangkok Post (Link) After lagging other Asian currencies for most of the year, Thailand’s baht has staged a sharp rebound to outperform its peers. The baht has rallied almost 1.5% in May after dropping over 7% in the first four months of 2020. The catalyst? Traders are betting Thailand’s tourism- dependent economy will recover swiftly from the virus-induced slump as economies begin to reopen. “The sooner availability of a vaccine will mean a quicker recovery in industries such as retail and tourism, and as such currencies relying more on these sectors may respond more,” said Frances Cheung, Singapore-based head of Asia macro strategy at Westpac Banking Corp. Yanxi Tan, a foreign exchange strategist at Malayan Banking Bhd. expects the baht to rise to 31.7 per dollar by year-end as the pandemic dissipates. The currency rallied as much as 0.5% to 31.872 per dollar on 19 May, with sentiment bolstered by signs of progress in developing a vaccine against the virus. 2. Organic rice gets trade boost Source: Bangkok Post (Link) The Commerce Ministry has registered a domain for Thai farm and food products, TraceThai.com, with local organic rice chosen as the pilot product given its high value, strong market demand and export potential. Pimchanok Vonkorpon, director-general of the Trade Policy and Strategy Office under the Commerce Ministry, said the registration is part of an ongoing project of the office in supporting Thai farmers and Thai organic rice exporters.

    FOSTERING COMPETITION IN ASEAN OECD COMPETITIVE NEUTRALITY REVIEWS: SMALL-PACKAGE DELIVERY SERVICES IN THAILAND SERVICES DELIVERY OECD COMPETITIVE NEUTRALITY REVIEWS: SMALL-PACKAGE OECD Competitive Neutrality Reviews THAILAND SMALL-PACKAGE DELIVERY SERVICES 1 OECD Competitive Neutrality Reviews: Small-Package Delivery Services in Thailand PUBE OECD COMPETITIVE NEUTRALITY REVIEWS: SMALL-PACKAGE DELIVERY SERVICES IN THAILAND © OECD 2020 2 OECD COMPETITIVE NEUTRALITY REVIEWS: SMALL-PACKAGE DELIVERY SERVICES IN THAILAND © OECD 2020 3 Foreword Southeast Asia, one of the fastest growing regions in the world, has benefited from a broad embrace of economic growth models based on international trade, foreign investment and integration into regional and global value chains. Maintaining this momentum, however, will require certain reforms to strengthen the region’s economic and social sustainability. This will include reducing regulatory barriers to competition and market entry to help foster innovation, efficiency and productivity. The logistics sector plays a significant role in fostering economic development. Apart from its contribution to a country’s GDP, a well-developed logistics network has an impact on most economic activities. An efficient logistics system can improve a country’s competitiveness, facilitate international trade and enhance its connectivity to better serve consumers and meet the needs of regionally integrated production facilities for reliable delivery of inputs and outputs. The OECD Competitive Neutrality Reviews: Small-Package Delivery Services in Thailand, undertaken within the framework of the ASEAN Competition Action Plan, assesses the impact of state-owned enterprises on competition in Thailand. The analysis focuses on small-package delivery services, a fundamental part of the logistics sector due to their important role in the rapidly growing e-commerce sector.
