第二步: 清算工作
Businesses in Thailand are facing a difficult road ahead. The latest wave of COVID-19 infections continues to hammer the economy, further delaying a recovery that many companies were counting on to relieve their financial woes.
Those struggles have been considerable. According to the National Economic and Social Development Council (NESDC), Thailand's gross domestic product shrank by 6.1% in 2020 – the steepest decline since the Tom Yum Kung financial crisis of 1997.
Due to the global crisis caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, the Thai Government has implemented a number of important initiatives aimed at supporting the Thai economy and affected industries.
As part of these initiatives, the Ministry of Finance of Thailand has enacted several important short terms and medium terms tax relief measures to support individual and corporate entities in Thailand to ease the hardships faced by many during these uncertain times.

随着 COVID-19 疫情持续在全球范围内造成严重破坏,疫情对泰国经济的影响 也非常明显。由于暂停对国际旅客的开放,占泰国 GDP15%以上的旅游业在 本年度收入已大幅减少。严重依赖旅游业的企业已经被迫关闭了成千上万家, 而许多在 COVID-19 之前就已经遇到财务困难的公司现在已濒临破产边缘。 今年,泰国的破产与重整法在 1997 年亚洲金融危机以后又一次重回公众的视 野。2020 年 4 月下旬,泰国行业领先的房地产开发商之一 PACE Development Public Company Limited 向泰国中央破产法院(“法院”)提交了破产重整 申请。

As Covid19 continues to wreak havoc around the globe, its devastating impact on Thailand’s economy is becoming increasingly apparent. With its borders closed to international travelers for the foreseeable future, Thailand’s tourism industry, whose revenues account for more than 15% of the country’s total GDP, has been largely decimated. Businesses heavily reliant on tourism have closed their doors in the thousands – and many companies who were already experiencing financial difficulties pre-Covid19 have now been pushed over the edge into insolvency.
