Economic outlook in : Domestic demand-led recovery; a challenging task for Thailand? Policy framework/guidelines to revive the Thai economy: Policy combination of short-term stimulus package and longterm investment projects aimed at strengthening economic and social fundamentals in a bid for Thailand to cope with a changing global economic landscape after this crisis?
3 3 Impacts of sub-prime and world economic crisis on Thailand 3 Direct impacts on financial institutions - Total foreign exposure (which includes loan in foreign currency and investment in foreign debt and equities) as a percentage share to total assets of financial institutions was only approximately 7.5% - Hence, direct impacts on financial institutions were limited. Related impacts on International capital movement - Capital outflows from portfolio investment - Thai stock market s volatility and decline in set index and hence decline in wealth - Depreciation of baht currency Impacts on Thai exports and tourism - Contraction in world demand - decline in trade finance - growing concern over protectionism

Imports increased much faster than exports. Net exports, therefore, contributed less to growth than in Stocks were built up as the consequence of the surge in imports, particularly of such items as steel and iron, auto parts, electronic parts, and gold. Change in stocks, therefore, contributed a big share of growth in 2008.

17 Policy mix/policy coordination to stabilize and stimulate the economy 25 Monetary Policy Fiscal Policy Low Interest Rate policy From 2.5% to 1.25% Closely monitoring of financial liquidity Support for consumer spending through Public investment Projects Stimulus Package I Stimulus Package II Macro prudential policy to prevent financial imbalances and to ensure stability of financial institutions Personal tax cuts & Transfer payment e.g. more generous unemployment insurance benefit, subsidy to senior citizen, cash handout for low income-earners, free education, etc. 3-Years Public Investment Projects e.g. Infrastructure projects, education development-related projects, water system development projects, health care upgradingrelated projects etc. 25
18 Economic recovery measures Stimulus Package
19 Stimulus Package 1 - Strong boost to domestic demand is key and imperative for the road to recovery in 2009 while Thai exports will contract throughout The measures under SP I are aimed to mitigate impacts of economic slowdown. -In uary 2009, Abhisit's government announced a Bt116.7 billion (US$3.35 billion) stimulus package aimed at boosting domestic demand shore up an economy which has been battered by the global downturn and political turmoil and last year's airport blockade. Excluding an amount paid back to treasury balance, this is a one-year 2,700 mil. USD (or 93,000 million baht) program. - The stimulus package was 2009 based on 4 principles as guidelines for implementation, namely timely, transparent, temporary, and targeted. -The plan comprised a mix of cash handouts for low earners, tax cuts, tax deductible for mortgage payment up to 300,000 baht, expanded free education, monthly payments to the elderly and volunteer health-care workers, and subsidies for transport and utilities. - If implemented by Q2/2009, potential boost of GDP is expected to be around percent of GDP. 1 27
20 Economic recovery measures Stimulus Package
21 Three-year 1.56 trillion baht or 45 billion USD of public - Public investment programs will be in effect for Stimulate economic activities and create jobs in the SR and also build strong economic and social foundations in the LR to enhance competitiveness in the context of stronger tide of globalization and regional integration - Also include community involvement investment plan was announced in March Projects to develop and improve water grid system Programs to develop and improve infrastructure, logistic system, and other public services/facilities Programs to promote tourism income Projects to increase potential of Thailand s creative economy Plans to upgrade quality of Thai education Projects on health care/public health system reform Investment projects to upgrade incomeearning of Thai people especially those in the rural areas 1 29
22 Key concerns: Political uncertainty and low public confidence could be constraints for policy effectiveness If fully disbursed and timely implemented could increase public investment by 0.2% of GDP in 2010, 0.5% of GDP in 2011, and 1% of GDP of If fully implemented, will stimulate growth and improve Thailand s competitiveness. The government is working in preparing project details to reduce risk of implementation delay so that to achieve full impacts. Political uncertainty and protracted low public confidence remain key risks for policy effectiveness. Government s deficit is appropriately counter-cyclical and the deficit must be managed to decline after a few years Jul Consumer confidence remains low 2005 Jul Jul 2004 Jul BSI 2005 Jul Jul Economic Future Income Jul Jul Jul Job Opportunity CCI Expected BSI (next 3 months) Jul 2008 Jul 2009 Business sentiments remains low 2009
23 Economic outlook for 2009 Source 2009 (%) Forecast date World Bank (-2.7) 7 Apr 09 IMF (-3.5) 7 Apr 09 ADB (-2.0) 1 Apr 09 BOT (-3.5) (-1.5) 22 Apr 09 FPO (-3.0) (-2.0) 25 Mar 09 NESDB (-3.5) (-2.5) 25 May 09 The economy is likely to contract by 5%-6%, in H1/2009, before it recovers to zero growth, yoy, in H2/09 provided the world economic and political factors improve in H2. Positive yoy growth in H2 is possible on the back of effective implementation of SP I and SP can kick in right away in Q4/09. Depletion of stocks in H1 is reflected in the reduction of imports and production to a greater extent than the decline in sales. It is, thus, expected that more product line will resume in H2. That means laying off of labour should bottom in H1. Private investment will contract by 5%-8% in There is still possibility that private consumption expenditure increase slightly by 1%-2%, supported by government programs.
24 32 Growth Outlook. However, in terms of growth component in 2009, the GDP data in 2009 could be significantly contributed by net exports, given that imports will contract more severely. Big contribution from domestic demand is expected to realize in 2010 when the SP II is implemented. Contraction in imports and bigger reduction in production than is sale will be on the expenses of de-stocking of inventory. That is stock accumulation will likely be negative contribution for growth in 2009 as compared to relatively large positive contribution in Trade surplus is predicted based on the prospect of faster decline in imports than in exports. The pressure on baht currency will subside, as a result.
