The curious case of Thailand - Financial outlook

Hi

Quite an interesting article

A brief extract:

"While much of the globe wrestles with the growing healthcare and pension costs associated with an aging population, Southeast Asia is in the enviable position of remaining largely exempt from such concerns. In most countries in that region, an expanding working age population underpins positive GDP figures and labor productivity growth. But there’s one country that isn’t following the demographic pack

.That would be Thailand, and the results aren’t good for growth or Thai stocks. “Thailand faces not just aging challenges but challenges from changing consumers and workers,” says Amlan Roy, head of Credit Suisse’s global demographics research team in London.
