The World Bank's latest "Doing Business 2018" report put Thailand in 26th place among 190 economies in ease of doing business, up from 48th place in 2017. "In addition to improving the regulatory framework that was an obstacle to doing business by invoking Section 44, the government also supported the development of a comprehensive Doing Business portal to be launched in 2019 to provide easier and faster services for business owners," said Thossaporn Sirisamphan, secretary-general of the Office of the Public Sector Development Commission. With its 26th-place ranking, Thailand has risen to the top 15% of countries globally in the ease of doing business -- a great achievement. Several recent improvements in the ease of doing business stand out. "We're very happy for the big jump in the World Bank's ease of doing business ranking," Gen Prayut said.
