Thailand ranks as second most attractive investment location among emerging and developing countries in Asia.

 

Thailand has achieved second place among emerging and developing countries in Asia, according to the recent Global Opportunity Index (GOI) 2024, by the Milken Institute.

 

The index’s purpose is to offer vital information to investors who are seeking opportunities outside their local markets. The index is based on 100 indicators classified into five categories: Business Perception, Economic Fundamentals, Financial Services, Institutional Framework, and International Standards and Policy.

Mmmm, plenty of opportunities ... Whether they'll be worth anything down the track is the question.

Bring your money in and get taxed on it is not much of an incentive?

 

Does a company importing funds also have the same tax liabilities as individuals?

I don't understand why, when you can't even tell who's running the country?

"For Asian countries in the E&D group, Malaysia came in first place (27th place globally), followed by Thailand (37th), China (39th), Indonesia (55th), Vietnam (65th), India (72nd), Mongolia (78th), Sri Lanka (82nd), The Philippines (91st) and Cambodia (93rd)."

 

Whilst the top 10 countries in the GOI rankings this year are Denmark, Sweden, Finland, the US, the UK, the Netherlands, Germany, Switzerland, Norway and Ireland. The highest Asian country on the list is Singapore, in 14th place, while Japan is in 16th place.

I think Thailand ranks high in the 'Chinese Opportunities Index, but very low in the 'Global Opportunities Index'

Yes, I can feel already the blooming, growing, expanding economy. Or is it a fairy tale?

We are investing in Vietnam and Cambo at the moment.

 

Operations are still mainly in Thailand, but we are diversifying throughout the region to limit risk.
