| Summary: | The World Bank Group conducted
face-to-face interviews with top managers and business
owners of 1,000 enterprises in Thailand from November 2015
through June 2016. The Enterprise Survey (ES) sample is
representative of Thailand’s formal private sector. The ES
covers several aspects of business environment along with
measures of firm performance. The main highlights from the
survey are: Thai firms underperform comparator economies in
both annual sales and employment growth; female
participation in ownership or management of the private
sector is higher than in comparator economies; firms’
engagement in trade is lower in Thailand than in comparator
economies; and political instability is most frequently
cited as the biggest obstacle to private firms’ operations. |
