Around 45.5 per cent expected the Cabinet reshuffle to improve implementation of economic policies, while 38.4 per cent thought the situation would remain unchanged. Almost three-quarters (71 per cent) of CEOs wanted the new Cabinet to immediately launched short- and long-term stimulus packages to maintain economic momentum.

Almost 50 per cent of CEOs believed the business sector situation would worsen in the last five months of this year if there is no vaccine. More than 50 per cent believed the Thai economy will shrink by 10 per cent this year. The CEOs were split on whether the state of emergency should remain in place. Forty-nine per cent said it should stay while another 49 per cent said it was not necessary. Of the total, over 50 per cent said the state of emergency had a slight impact on their businesses, while 14 per cent said it had a major impact.
