Message from the
Permanent Secretary of
the Ministry of Industry
S o far our country has faced changes of society,

economy, environment and natural disaster.
These changes will dramatically affect the economy
and our lives in the near future. Furthermore, we
will still have to confront the global, regional and
national changes which will have the effects on the
country development. For example, such changes
are economic and financial crisis and the commit-
ment to ASEAN Economic Community (AEC)
in 2015. Hence, the government has prepared the
economic system to be ready to adapt itself to the
effects of these changes. Also, the government has
created the business opportunities by improving
people, increasing knowledge-based, technology,
innovation and creativity based on the concept of
environmentally-friendly manufacturing indus-
tries. Moreover, the government has adopted His
Majesty the King’s idea of “Sufficiency Economy”
