Concluding Remarks by the Chairperson of the Trade Policy Review Body, H.E. Mr. Mario Matusat the Trade Policy Review of Thailand 28 & 30 November 2011

The sixth review of Thailand’s trade policies has taken place against the backdrop of recent severe flooding in the country that has led to the deaths of hundreds of people and caused severe damage to the Kingdom’s infrastructure and production valued at over 2.3% of GDP. Indeed, the damage caused by the flooding was felt beyond Thailand’s borders as it disrupted international supply chains for both industrial and agricultural goods. I would also like to take this opportunity to add my appreciation to the Thai delegation for providing replies to the questions despite the disruptions caused by the flooding.
