Chapter 1
The business cycle is the periodic but irregular up-and-down movements in
economic activity, measured by fluctuations in real GDP and other macroeconomic
variables.
What are economic indicators and why are they important?
An economic indicator is simply any economic statistic, such as the
unemployment rate, GDP, or the inflation rate, which indicate how well the economy
is doing and how well the economy is going to do in the future.
To understand economic indicators, we must understand the ways in which
economic indicators differ. There are three major attributes each economic indicator
has:
1. Relation to the Business Cycle / Economy
Economic Indicators can have one of three different relationships to the
economy:
1.1 Procyclic: A procyclic (or procyclical) economic indicator is one that
moves in the same direction as the economy. So if the economy is doing well, this
number is usually increasing, whereas if we're in a recession this indicator is
decreasing. The Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is an example of a procyclic
economic indicator.
1.2 Countercyclic: A countercyclic (or countercyclical) economic indicator is
one that moves in the opposite direction as the economy. The unemployment rate gets
larger as the economy gets worse so it is a countercyclic economic indicator.
1.3 Acyclic: An acyclic economic indicator is one that has no relation to the
health of the economy and is generally of little use. The number of home runs the
Montreal Expos hit in a year generally has no relationship to the health of the
economy, so we could say it is an acyclic economic indicator.

2.Frequency of the Data
In most countries GDP figures are released quarterly (every three months)
while the unemployment rate is released monthly. Some economic indicators, such as
the Dow Jones Index, are available immediately and change every minute.
3. Timing
Economic Indicators can be leading, lagging, or coincident which indicates the
timing of their changes relative to how the economy as a whole changes.
3.1 Leading: Leading economic indicators are indicators which change beforethe economy changes. Stock market returns are a leading indicator, as the stock
market usually begins to decline before the economy declines and they improve
before the economy begins to pull out of a recession. Leading economic indicators are
the most important type for investors as they help predict what the economy will be
like in the future.
3.2 Lagged: A lagged economic indicator is one that does not change direction
until a few quarters after the economy does. The unemployment rate is a lagged
economic indicator as unemployment tends to increase for 2 or 3 quarters after the
economy starts to improve.
3.3 Coincident: A coincident economic indicator is one that simply moves at
the same time the economy does. The Gross Domestic Product is a coincident
indicator.
Main indicators:

In Conclusion:
Thailand in.
Recession
Most of us have an intuitive idea of what a recession entails - job losses, plant
closures and tough times for families. But what exactly is a recession? There are a few
similar, but not identical definitions. To learn what economists mean by a recession
What Causes Recessions?
There are a number of theories on what causes recessions. Some observers
believe each recession has a unique cause, whereas others believe recessions generally
have a single cause, such as bad investments (malinvestment) by firms. It is
occasionally heard that recessions and depressions, such as the Great Depression, arecaused by stock market crashes. Others believe that globalization has changed the the
nature of the business cycle.
The economy and the stock market are closely related. Many people examine
the stock market to find out how the economy is doing. It's long been known that if
the stock market is in a period of decline, the economy is sure to follow. However
there is little evidence that the stock market causes the economy to rise or fall. The
stock market does not directly affect the economy. It is simply a mirror of people's
generally correct beliefs about what is about to happen in the economy. The best way
to understand this is to realize that a stock market index the Dow Jones Industrial
Average (DJI) is simply a price. Because the value of index is a price, it only has two
determinants: supply and demand.
The report from Bureau of Trade and Economic Indices, Ministry of
Commerce, show that Thailand economy slowdown.

Medium-run Leading Index is composed of seven leading indicators in
January 2009 stood at 93.0 (2002=100) decreased 1.0 percent from previous month,

3. The six-month smoothed annualized growth rate is obtained by dividing the
current months index number by its average for the preceding twelve months and
expressing the result as an annual rate.
4. All indicators have to be seasonal adjustment by X-12 and the indicators in
term of value were real value indicators, which were adjusted by consumer price
index.
Forecast:
Thailands political scene will remain unstable in the forecast period owing to
the persistent power struggle between, on one side, the established
bureaucratic and royalist elites and the urban middle class, and on the other,
the forces aligned with Thaksin Shinawatra, the former prime minister who
was ousted in the September 2006 military coup.
The likelihood of further protests in the capital, Bangkok, is high. Although
the Peoples Alliance for Democracy (PAD, a right-wing alliance of royalists
and business leaders) has ended its demonstrations, a pro-Thaksin group, the
United Front for Democracy Against Dictatorship, has begun protests in an
attempt to force the resignation of the new prime minister, Abhisit Vejjajiva.
Thailands relations with the US and the EU will remain troubled as a result of
the Thai governments unwillingness to criticise the ruling military junta in
neighbouring Myanmar. Commercial disputes, particularly regarding the
protection of intellectual property rights, will add to tensions with the US.
The Democrat Party-led government has responded to the global economic
downturn with a stimulus package, but there are concerns that the measures
will prove insufficient to counter a host of negative factors that are
undermining growth prospects. Most of the measures announced by the
government have focused on transferring cash to households through grants
and tax cuts, but consumers may opt to save the additional income rather than
spend it. There are also suspicions that some of the governments policies are
politically motivated.
The economy will contract sharply in 2009, as the global economic slowdown
will have a negative impact on exports. Ongoing concerns about political
stability will also continue to prevent a major improvement in consumer and
17
8/14/2019 Final FM Report
18/108
investor sentiment in the early part of the forecast period. However, as the
global economy picks up, GDP growth in Thailand will accelerate to an
average annual rate of 3.6% in 2011-13.
Global prices for crude oil and non-oil commodities will fall from the highs
that they reached in 2008, contributing to a more benign outlook for inflation
in the forecast period.
The current-account balance will return to surplus in the forecast period.
Export growth will be particularly weak in 2009-10, owing to the economic
slowdown in important export destinations, such as the US.
Key indicators 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013
Real GDP growth (%) 2.6 -4.4 1.8 2.8 3.9 4.2

Exchange rate Bt: 100 (av) 32.3 39.4 40.3 41.1 41.1 40.8
The Thai economy has in all probability already entered a technical recession,
although Q1/2009 data have not been released.
The external outlook is grim with exports continuing to tumble at the start of
the year, falling by 25.3% y-o-y in January 2009.
Manufacturing production has fallen in tandem with exports, registering a
21.3% contraction in the same month and the Bank of Thailand (BoT)'s
business sentiment index, coming in at a subdued 36.3 (where 50 delineates
expansion/contraction)
Although, the situation now is in recession already but it is not at the bottom
of the recession yet.

in details as follows:
1. Energy and Utilities
Due to the poor economic situation around the world, the energy plays maybe
pressured by lower oil prices but it is the very important source for the production of
many industries. Therefore, when the economy turns to recovery, the energy stocks
will rise again which are vary toward the economic situation and its own prices. At
this moment, the foreign funds may still sell energy big caps on weak global demand
further hitting commodity prices, but the energy stocks offer good value especially
after the latest jump in oil prices. In this sector, we put our investment in PTT

Conclusion
28
8/14/2019 Final FM Report
29/108
PTTEPs core business lies within the Exploration and Production (E&P)
industry. PTTEP sources and supply natural gas, condensate, crude oil or LPG
primarily to Thai market. The competition level within the E&P industry in Thailand
can be regarded as non-threatening. This is due to the nature of the market where
demand usually exceeds supply. The types of contract utilized are usually done so in
long-term, where conditions stipulate take-or-pay clauses, minimizing any losses
which may occur.
Despite the current economic slowdown which may prolonged throughout
2009, consequently affecting the domestic energy demand. The previously mentioned
ensured that the products will be sold in the volume agreed, when the contract was
signed. Leaving the current output and sales close to those seen in 2008, and willlikely, if any, affected by the economic slowdown.
Regarding the medium to long-term market, the demand for petroleum
products will continue to grow. It is PTTEPs commitment to search and source new
energy supply from both domestic and international sources to meet the growing
demand.

From figure 1.1.1, it showed that during the mid of year 2008, the highest
price of PTTEP was about 200 Baht/share. The other companies in the same sector
also have the high price at that period due to the increase of oil price showing in
figure 1.1.2 below. But at Q1 of 2009, the price of PTTEP dilute to approximately 95
Baht/share. It is an opportunity to buy PTTEP at the cheaper price. When the
economic get back to normal, we can make the profit.
Figure 1.1.2
PTTEP may be the only stock in this sector that showed an outstanding
profitability even we expected that the profit would decrease related to oil price down
trend. Most oil analysts still believe oil price could move up to $50 per barrel by April
2009 as most oil inventory are on declining. If the oil price increases, it will have the
good effect toward the price of PTTEP stock.

From figure 1.1.3, the results of operations for year 2008, PTTEPs total net
profit of Baht 41,675 million or Baht 12.68 per share-diluted, an increase of 46%
when compared with 2007s net profit of Baht 28,445 million or Baht 8.66 per share-
diluted. The increase was mainly due to higher sales of petroleum, resulting from the
higher average petroleum sales price and higher sales volume for the year 2008.
However, hope for the rebound of economies, especially of the US after Fed
has injected additional money into its economic system via debenture buying in order
to boost liquidity, was the factor that helped support global oil price to swing
continuously. So, we should buy on weakness.

From figure above, it showed that PTTEPs graph is very sensitive toward the

1.2Banpu Public Company Limited (BANPU)
Company Profile
Banpu was established in Thailand in 1983 as a coal-mining venture and was
later listed in 1989 on the Stock Exchange of Thailand. In the 1990s the Company
diversified into power project development in Thailand, Coal mining in Indonesia,
port operations and industrial minerals.
Since 2001 Banpu has decided to focus its strategy around becoming a leading
coal-based energy player in the Asia-Pacific region. The decision is based on where
the Company sees its core skills and competitive advantages as well as where it seesmost growth potential. This decision has led to some non-core divestments (industrial

minerals, port business, some non-coal power investments) as well as further
growth in coal in Indonesia and China.

efficient development and operation of open-pit coal mines in Asia - and in both

Ways to Make Profit
In 2008, Banpu continued to sell coals to markets which offered the highest
price. It also focused its efforts in keeping long-term customers and increase customer
satisfactions. Banpus major competition strategies are as follows:
Customer relations management
Realizing how important to respond to customer demands, Banpu has set up a unit to
manage its relationships with customers. The unit interviews major customers of
Banpu by sending questionnaires to measure their satisfactions towards the
Companys products and services. Results of the survey are later used to improve
Banpu products so that we can respond more to their demands.
Customer satisfaction
Results of customer satisfactions are used to improve Banpu internal work process so
that they can timely respond to customer demands and to increase their satisfactions.
Reliability and stability in coal delivery
Improving coal terminal.
Expansion of coal stockyard at the Bontang Coal Terminal.
Improving the barge circuit network.
Delivery flexibility
With a coal terminal of their own, Banpu therefore can offer flexibility for customers
who want to berth their own barges at banpu terminal. This not only facilitates
customers by allowing them to rent their own barges or to change them but it also
helps customers to better manage their barges and their transportation costs.
Speedy service
Banpu has installed a computerized system to monitor its production, coal
transportation and documentation such as invoices, cost calculation and coal quality
information so that they can track a status of goods and services offered to each
customer. This in turn helps Banpu respond more quickly to customers needs while
reducing documentation errors, which should help reducing customers costs and
times spent on communicating with each other.
34
8/14/2019 Final FM Report
35/108
Technical supports
The Company has hired coal utilization experts to offer advice and assistance to
customers so that they can use own coal more efficiently, which should therefore
reduce their costs.
Sophisticated quality control system
The Company has upgraded its quality laboratories at every mine and standardized its
coal quality analysis manual to ensure that not only all of own labs will operate on the
same standards but also run according to international standards. In addition, Banpu
also sets up a quality control unit to monitor the quality of own coal at every
production stage until the product is in customers hands to ensure that the coal
delivered to customers is constant in terms of quality and is in line with all the terms
and conditions previously agreed.
Selling more high-ended products
The Company has combined medium-quality coal having low level of sulfur and ash
with high-quality coal. The end result is high-quality product that can be sold in the
market at a higher price, which in turn, expanding Banpu high-price product ranges.
Focusing on long-term customers
The Company continues to focus at maintaining our long-term relationship with
customers. This has allowed Banpu to have a lot of long-term customers whose
purchases cover most of coals sold by Banpu. Although some customers may not sign
a long-term coal purchase agreement with Banpu, they continue to buy coals from
Banpu on a regular basis.
Geographical spreads
The Companys major customers are spreading in various countries both in Europe
and Asia to reduce Banpu dependency risk in having to overly dependent on one
market over another. Besides, when one market has a problem, they can still switch
own effort to other markets that are still free from trouble. This in return helps
stabilize Banpu incomes.

metallurgical coal entering the global thermal market, should be offset by positive
factors, especially lower exports from some export countries. The coal market will be
supported by growing the demand in India and Indonesia as well as China.
In China, the current domestic coal price is higher than the international price,
which induces more import of coal to the country. The Chinese government continues
to close small and unsecured coal mines, so supply to the China market should be
trimmed and export would be lower.
Figure 1.2.2
From figure 1.2.2, the historical chart showed that the stock price of BANPU
used to reach the highest price at 500 Baht per share during the mid of year 2008. It is
the same stories as PTTEP as mentioned previously. Currently, the price of stock falls
to approximately 200 Baht per share. It is very cheap to invest in it. The stock price
will vary according to the economic situation. When the economic is good, the
consumption will increase. It leads the price to go up rapidly. It is the way to make
money from this.

Figure 1.2.3
In July 2008, the coal price jump up at the highest point as shown in figure
1.2.3. It was the same period that the stock price of BANPU reached the highest price
too. An 11.4% WoW decline in spot coal prices should impact the share price
performance in the short-term. The downside for prices should not be large. The high
cost producers will drop out of the market. BANPU coal mines have relatively low
cash production costs compared to others, which will allow it to weather the current
storm.
There are 2 events support a rebound in coal prices.
1) Indonesia (a major coal producer) announced cutting exports this
years by 22% to 162mn tons.
2) China coal imports reached a recent peak of 4.88mn tones in
February 2009 on industrial and construction.
Coal is the lowest cost of production and energy source in many industries
especially in the heavy duty industry but it is the cause of pollution. In addition,
BANPU has the mining business in Indonesia and China. BANPU will spend a total
of US$208mn in 2009 to develop three coal mines in Indonesia and China to maintain
growth. BANPU have the sustainable fundamental and healthy financial status.
Therefore, we should invest in BANPU at this time when the stock price is
inexpensive.

Figure 2.1.1
From figure 2.1.1 showed that ADVANCs price reduce to the support line
between 75-80 baht/share. It reflects the poor economic situation but the sales volume
does not reduce following the current condition. So, we buy now and speculate the
price to go up and sell to get the margin.

2.2 Thai Com Public Company Limited (THCOM)
Company profile
Thaicom Public Company Limited (formerly named Shin Satellite) was
founded on 7th November 1991 by Shin Corporation Plc. (SHIN), which was
granted a 30-year Build-Transfer-Operate concession from Thailands Ministry of
Transport and Communications (now transferred to Ministry of Information and
Communication Technology) to operate the countrys first communications satellite.
The concession expires in 2021.
The Company has been a publicly listed company on the Stock Exchange of
Thailand (SET) since 1994. Later in April 2008, the Company has changed its name
to THAICOM Plc. using the new ticker symbol on SET as THCOM.
Until present, THAICOM Plc. has launched five communications satellites in
geosynchronous orbit including THAICOM 1A, THAICOM 2, THAICOM 3 (de-
orbited), THAICOM 4 (IPSTAR) and THAICOM 5. THAICOM Plc. has built not
only the world class satellite platforms, but also high quality satellite service facilities
besides its main earth control station, namely THAICOM Teleport and DTH Center.
The THAICOM Teleport and DTH Center has also been certified ISO9001:2000 since
2002. The Company continues to renewal ISO certification when expiring, to
guarantee the international standard services to the customers.
Innovations have brought global attention to focus on THAICOM Plc. The
Company was the first in the region to offer Ku-band, Digital Direct-to-Home
broadcasting as well as the worlds first operator to employ MPEG-2/ DVB
compression since 1994. With the success of the THAICOM satellite projects,
THAICOM Plc. has foreseen the potential of a new generation of Internet Protocol
(IP) satellites and set up the project called IPSTAR. IPSTAR is the world first
broadband satellite which fully supports telecommunications via Internet Protocol
(IP). IPSTAR technology has been developed since 2000 to increase the capacity for
efficient use of bandwidth and to reduce the service cost to a lower level than that of
other satellites as well as allowing fast rollout of two-way high-speed satellite
broadband system. According to the IPSTAR initiative, the Company received theIndustry Innovator Award for Technology Development and Applications in 2006

Nature of Business
Product & Service
Transponders Leasing Service
First and foremost, Thaicom provides customers with C-band and Ku-band
transponder capacity for full time or occasional use. This can support
Telecommunications Trunking, VSAT, Satellite News Gathering (SNG), Analog TV,
Digital DTH, and High Definition TV. In addition, a number of C-band and Ku-band

themselves in a more efficient and cost-effective manner. The Thaicom global beam is
so vast that VSAT links can now reach hundreds of countries on the four continents it
covers.
3. Rural Telephony
Countries can no longer afford to have sections of their population cut off
from communications with the outside world, but all too often they cannot keep pace
with demand. The lack of basic communications in rural areas seriously detracts from
the quality of life of the populations. It is telecommunications that becomes the
59
8/14/2019 Final FM Report
60/108
critical catalyst for encouraging the growth of local extractive, agricultural and
manufacturing industries, as well as rural business and tourism. However, the distance
from centers of population has been a prime factor impeding the progress of bringing
telecommunications to these areas. In these remote regions, rural telephony can be the
ideal solution for providing a communications infrastructure that can be the backbone
for economic development. In addition, rural telephony represents significant business
opportunities for telephone service operators.
A satellite is a cost-effective platform to support a rural telephony service
since its cost is insensitive to distance. To further advocate rural telephony, Thaicom
can provide a technologically advanced, rural telephony network on a turnkey basis.
That is, the Company can take care of every aspect of network installation to ensure
the customers are satisfied with the network, reducing costs and providing more
telephone connections to people in rural and remote areas.

events, concerts, and other special events. To meet up with the customers demand,
the company can offer a very flexible deal of ad-hoc or occasional services under a
short-term contract ranging from minutes to weeks or even months. In addition, the
company has provided one stop shop services for SNG leasing, fiber, or microwave
through our local and global partners both for domestic and international services.

Ways to make Profit
Transponder Leasing and Related Business
Conventional Thaicom business has grown steadily. In 2008, the company
accomplished to add new customers, which mainly are international and domestic TV
broadcasters. As at the end of 2008, there are 264 TV channels broadcast via the
Thaicom satellites, an increase from 243 channels in 2007.
The three new IPSTAR gateways in Korea, Malaysia and the Philippines have
been deployed and operated in 2008. To date thirteen gateways in ten countries are in
operation. In 2008, the new retail broadband package has been launched through
66
8/14/2019 Final FM Report
67/108
IPSTARs partners in New Zealand and the Philippines in order to increase consumer
uptake.
Eight IPSTAR service prociders in Australia have been granted the Australian
Broadband Guarantee Program (ABG) from the Australian government. ABG is a
form of a Universal Service Obligation subsidy program granting subsidies to
qualified service providers to provide broadband services to areas in Australia that are
unable to access metro-comparable broadband services, which mainly consists of
rural households nationwide. With this subsidy grant, the number of IPSTAR end-
users thus far has increased aggressively.
In December 2008, the Company has signed a Contract with Vietnam Telecom
International (VTI), a subsidiary company of Vi
Recommended
