The outbreak of COVID-19 has affected various aspects of the Thai economy, including the purchasing power of consumers, raw material and equipment shortages, and delayed transportation of goods and material. This has led to a significant drop in sales, which in turn has affected the financial liquidity of various businesses. In addition, financial institutions are very cautious about lending, for fear of having problems with bad debt.
