Therefore, related agency should promote and secure the stability of resources or raw materials used in the operation, build up the competitive advantage (e.g. promote and support Tax or non-Tax privileges), improve logistic and business transaction system (e.g. development of transportation network, process of coordination, regulations and procedures , or implementation of business operation), support and reduce barriers related to imported duties (e.g. imported raw materials, reducing or eliminating duties on imported machineries, or the barriers of the standards of products manufactured in Thailand), and stabilization of the exchange rate not to fluctuate too much.Article Details
