1. Introduction
Thailand is back on its long-term growth path. Annual growth rates during the last 5 years, i.e.
2002 to 2006, average more than 4.5% and are thus somewhat above acceleration of the world
economy with about 3 to 4% during the same period (calculated in real per capita terms). So
Thailand has managed to overcome the depression caused by the Asian financial crisis and has
regained its earlier position as a rapidly growing economy.
This ambitious development process includes a continuing reform of Thailand’s financial
sector.We can, indeed, show that the phase where financial reforms were dictated by the needs of
crisis resolution has gone and that the country is back to a ‘‘normal’’ situation. Normal, however,
does not mean ‘‘no change’’ as Thailand’s economy is evolving with high speed. High growth
