webfact Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 Industry ministry warns of one-sided info on factory closures By THE NATION Krichanont Iyapunya In response to recent news of factory closures and consequent terminations of employment, the Ministry of Industry’s deputy spokesman, Krichanont Iyapunya today made the point that the Ministry had received more requests for new factories than notifications of closures, saying that between January 1 to November 12 of 2019, there were 1,391 requests to close factories and 2,889 requests to open new ones. “This information shows that the situation is not as gloomy as reported. A total of 84,033 jobs were created by new businesses and an additional 84,704 jobs to support expansion of existing factories while unemployment due to factory closure stood at 35,533 persons.” He added that new investment in the factory business was Bt431.2 million, an increase of 36.6 per cent over last year. “Thais should not be alarmed by this one-sided information” he stressed. “It is entirely wrong to say that the factory sector is shrinking.” Source: https://www.nationthailand.com/news/30378329 -- © Copyright The Nation Thailand 2019-11-14 Follow Thaivisa on LINE for breaking Thailand news and visa info Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yellowboat Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 THAI was okay too despite the constant losses. 1 hour ago, webfact said: Ministry had received more requests for new factories than notifications of closures, Does a request actually mean a factory that actually commence production and employment? In Thailand, it is always wait and see. Take nothing at face value, especially from the government. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seajae Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 probably made all the requests himself or got his staff to do it, cant believe anything these idiots say to save face Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colinneil Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 Krichanont you sound like a right plonker.... So there were 2889 requests to open new factories, but how many actual factories opened? Answer probably just a handful. As a face saving exercise it was a pathetic attempt.

Is Mazda a Partner with Ford in what is called " The Auto Alliance " ? If so that would mean the Number 1 Pickup Truck in Thailand ( Ford Ranger ) sales are falling badly. There are some interesting times ahead me thinks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scot123 Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 I suggest dear fellow stop talking or just state how many large factories have opened how many job losses in 2018/19 compared to job gains in the same period. Oh ic those figures not nice figures so let's talk about might, could or maybe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isaan sailor Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 Pathetic liar. Everyday the Baht goes up. No way thecan add manufacturing jobs. Thailand just a backwater colony of China now. That’s what hot money inflows from China do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure factories always close but to truly know what is going on they should have looked at size of factories stopping and starting not just the amounts alone. But that would require a lot more research. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
