ABSTRACT

Since the 1 960s, GDP in Thailand has grown by an annual average of almost 7 per cent. As non-agricultural growth was more than twice that of agriculture, the country's production structure became increasingly based on industry and services. By 199 1 , the manufacturing sector accounted for over 28 per cent of GDP, up from 12 .5 per cent in 1 960 (Table 4. 1 ) .
