MERI Assessment

Thailand scores 55.2 on the MERI Readiness Index, placing it at rank 58 globally (54th percentile) in Tier 3. The country matches the East Asia & Pacific regional median of 55.2 and exceeds the Upper middle income group median by 1.8 points. Two active red flags—OFAC sanctions affecting 71 entities and medium-severity conflict activity with 31 battle-deaths over 25 events in the trailing 12 months—present material compliance and security risks for market entrants.

One indicator (Human Capital Quality) is imputed using peer methodology, and two indicators (Business Entry and Contract Enforcement) are missing from the regulatory_institutional pillar, reducing coverage to 83% overall.
