Hej
Tydligen placerar många Thailändare numera sina pengar utomlands, detta om man ska tro på uppgifterna ifrån Bank of Thailand.
Kanske finns det en viss oro för den ekonomiska utvecklingen i landet?
"Bank of Thailand data shows a clear rising trend of resident capital flight in 2016, with total outflows of nearly US$24 billion. Over US$20 billion of that amount was characterized by the central bank as direct or other investment overseas.
The outflows, which accelerated to over US$7.2 billion in December, dwarfed the US$5.4 billion recorded in 2015 and tipped the country’s balance of payments into deficit. Non-resident capital flows last year were comparatively negligible with a net US$200 million inflow."
Även tillväxten i Thailand är relativt låg enligt Bank of Thailand, jämfört med grannländerna har Thailand den lägsta tillväxten i regionen.
The Bank of Thailand maintains its growth forecast for 2016 and 2017 at 3.2 per cent, with which the country's economy is still the lowest in the region, an index that is headed by Philippines at 6.3 per cent, Vietnam at 6.1 per cent and Indonesia at 5.3 per cent.
