Thailand kept near bottom of political risk index
Despite a return of political stability after the May 2014 coup, Thailand is kept near the bottom of an Asian political risk index due to its “fundamental divisions” and concerns over the king’s health, a research unit of Fitch Group said.
BMI Research gave Thailand the short-term political risk score of 57.9 out of 100, ranking it 31st of the 37 Asian economies it covers, ahead of only Myanmar, East Timor, Fiji, Pakistan, Papua New Guinea, Nepal and Afghanistan.
