Good Corporate Governance
Thailand is a clear leader in corporate
governance among Asian economies and emerging
economies. To maintain that leadership, Thailand
must ensure the effectiveness of the Thai
Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and
Bank of Thailand (BOT) and address raising the
level of corporate governance for state owned
enterprises  (2013) Mr. David Robinett, Senior
Private Sector Development Specialist, World Bank
Thailand has showed endurance and commitment to
reforms in corporate governance in recent years.
These reforms are approaching the standard of
international best practices. Indeed, Thailand
has made very significant progress in its overall
corporate governance framework, and that
progress must be acknowledged and encouraged. 
(2013) Mr. Constantine Chikosi, Acting Country
Director for the World Bank Thailand
In 2014, Thailand ranked 4th of 11 Asian Markets
by ACGA.
