PRIVATISATION AND LIBERALIZATION POLICY IN
THAILAND

• SOEs have continue to play an important role as revenue


earners for the state and as a major part of the national
economy.

• The government creats and uses SOEs to sustain national


sovereignty and security, develop infrastructure, stimulate
economic growth, build basic infrastructure and provide
essential goods and services.
PRIVATISATION AND LIBERALIZATION POLICY IN
THAILAND
• SOEs in Thailand, and their subsequent privatisation, can usefully be divided
into four broad periods as follows:
• The expansion of SOEs under constitutional monarchs and military regimes (1932-
1960);
• The development of privatisation policy in parallel with the establishment of SOEs
(1961 to 1997); and
• The implementation of privatisation policy (1998-2006),
• The public criticized about implemenetation of the policy and unstable politics in
Thailand 2006-2018

PRIVATISATION AND LIBERALIZATION POLICY IN
THAILAND
• The expansion of SOEs (1932-1960)
• Until the 1930s, Siam was ruled as an absolute monarchy and the economy was mainly run by
barter transactions.
• The State monopolised foreign trade, and warehousing provided a substantial part of the royal
revenue from them
• This period witnessed the continuation of the long-standing tradition of royal monopoly and the
establishment of SOEs to provide services to the public and, in the later stages, to strengthen Siam’s
security and modernisation during the period of colonial expansion by European nations.
• King Rama V launched notable public finance reforms that prevented the country from insolvency
• Newly formed SOEs were essential instruments for strengthening and developing the economy of
Siam during the period of colonial expansion, and for developing national infrastructure and the
economy.

PRIVATISATION AND LIBERALIZATION POLICY IN
THAILAND
• The development of privatisation policy in parallel with the establishment of SOEs
(1961 to 1997)
• Thai during 1960s adopted the World Bank’s economic strategy for initiating private involvement in
industry and trade.
• In 1961, its first National Economic and Social Development Plan (NESDP), the government ruled
out direct competition with the private sector and promote private sector investment in the
industrial sector
• Thai Ministry of Finance declared that Thailand first developed privatisation and encouraged private
sector participation in 1961 as mentioned in the first National Economic and Social Development
Plan (NESDP)
• Parallel promotion of SOEs and of the private sector and by privatisation coming onto the
government’s policy agenda

PRIVATISATION AND LIBERALIZATION POLICY IN
THAILAND
The development of privatisation policy in parallel with the establishment of SOEs
(1961 to 1997)
• Despite the increased strength of the private sector, some bureaucrats were still able to
mobilise allies to prevent major private sector encroachment into SOE territory.
• SOE employees were particularly willing to aid the bureaucrats in this political campaign. The
analysis of academics concerning the ‘bureaucratic polity’ between 1930s and 1980s supports
the notion that elements of the Thai bureaucracy blocked significant attempts at reforming
SOEs

PRIVATISATION AND LIBERALIZATION POLICY IN
THAILAND
The implementation of privatisation policy (1998-2006)
• Peak Privatisation implementation with many SOEs had been commercialized and privatized
• The Asian Financial Crisis of 1997. This hit Thailand particularly hard, resulting in unemployment, the
collapse of businesses, a shortage of capital and reduced economic growth.
• Responding to the financial crisis, Thailand opened up policy space and allowed radical policy initiatives
• In the two decades prior to the financial crisis, Thailand was reluctant to privatise SOEs that earned
profits
• As a result of the 1997 Asian Financial Crisis, the Thai government accelerated the privatisation
programme, and improve the legal framework for private sector participation in the economy,
including the law on corporatisation

PRIVATISATION AND LIBERALIZATION POLICY IN
THAILAND
The implementation of privatisation policy (1998-2006)
• In addition to reforms already required by the 1997 Constitution, the IMF imposed
further reforms such as privatisation, to signify Thailand’s commitment to market
liberalisation.
• Under letter of intend from Thaland to IMF
• the Thai government set out a concrete and specific agenda for privatisation, including:
• establish regulatory capacity with cabinet approval
• set up a timeframe and stages for the corporatisation and divestiture of selected SOEs responsible for
energy, telecommunications, water and railways
• establish divestiture strategy for selected SOEs through ‘full or partial privatization through joint ventures,
private placements or public offers.
PRIVATISATION AND LIBERALIZATION POLICY IN
THAILAND
The implementation of privatisation policy (1998-2006)
• 1998 was a significant year for privatisation, as the Ministry of Finance (assisted by the World
Bank) drew up a Master Plan for State Enterprise Reform (or the Privatisation Master Plan, PMP)
(Royal Thai Government, 1998c), outlining the objectives and 8-year timetable for the reform
programme.
• It also classified 59 SOEs under 5 main ministries covering 5 sectors: telecommunications, energy,
transportation, water and others (industrial, commercial, agricultural, social and research).
• The government regarded the Master Plan as a strategic document, that determined the
direction and timing for implementing privatisation policy, and described steps towards the
increasing role of the private sector in SOEs.
PRIVATISATION AND LIBERALIZATION POLICY IN
THAILAND
The implementation of privatisation policy (1998-2006)
• The government also established the State Enterprise Policy Commission under the Office
of State Enterprise and publicly announced Sectoral Plans in telecommunications, energy,
transport and water.

• The MOF separated the functions of policy maker, regulator and operator in 1998,
developing a more systematic and centralised government regulatory structure for SOEs in
which the Cabinet became the highest decision-making body for SOE policy and
management

commercialization
• The implementation of privatization policy is halted but governments still maintain ideas of Private
Public Partenership in order to draw investments toward infrastructure development

MALAYSIA

• The privatisation wave in Malaysia had its beginnings in 1983.


• Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad publicised announced intention to establish a
privatisation policy.
• The Privatisation Policy was launched in 1983 to support the Malaysia Incorporated Policy
towards increasing the private sector's role in the country's economic development.
• The main objective of this policy is to lessen the financial and administrative burden of the
Government, improve skills and production, accelerate economic growth, reduce the size
and involvement of the public sector in the economy, and to assist in reaching the
country's economic policy's goal.

secretariat to the Privatisation Committee, which in turn is made up of various agencies
working towards finalising and confirming the proposals on privatization for the
Ministers' Council's approval.
• In 1985 the Government produced a Guideline On Privatisation which detailed out the
objective of the policy, method of privatization, as well as the implementation mechanism.
• In 1991 the Government produced a Master Plan on Privatisation to explain the policy
and strategy for privatization.

• The Malaysia government adopted the Privatisation Action Plan (PAP),a two-year
rolling plan to facilitate privatiation implementation. The PAP was reviewed
annually as to pin point measures to expedite the implementation of the
programme and to determine the entities to be privatised in the following two
years.

• The PAP was guided by a study undertaken by private consultants who were
commissioned by the government to review the advisability of privatising
government-owned entities (GOEs).

PRIVATISATION AND LIBERALIZATION POLICY
IN MALAYSIA

• Since the introduction of the privatization programme from 1983 to April 2009, about
500 privatised projects have been implemented throughout the country.
• The Government has benefited through savings in the form of capital expenditure
amounting RM161 billion and annual management expenditure (operations) amounting
to RM7.79 billion (or an estimated RM25 billion in a 25 year period).
• The burden of the Government's administrative expenditure was successfully reduced
following the privatisation of 58 Government agencies which involved the transfer of
113,440 government employees to the private sector.
• This savings has enabled the Government to redistribute its limited development
resource to more needy sectors such as the education, health and poverty eradication
programme.
