World Bank drops post-coup Thailand’s business ranking
Post-coup Thailand barely retained its position among the World Bank’s top 50 economies worldwide and has ranked third among ASEAN countries on the ease of doing business during the past year.
In its annual Doing Business 2016: Measuring Quality and Efficiency survey, Thailand fell three places from the bank’s 2014 survey – which covered the period before the last year’s coup — to 49th out of 189 economies surveyed, barely hanging on to its Top 50 honour.
