| ASEAN BUSINESS OUTLOOK SURVEY 2009 | ||
|
The AmChams in the ASEAN region just released the ASEAN Business Outlook Survey 2009. The survey is done each year to test the pulse of U.S. businesses in the region on their growth and profit expectations for the upcoming year as well as business strengths and concerns in operating in their individual countries.
AMCHAM Thailand members were optimistic about expanding in the ASEAN region with 74% of members planning to expand in the region in 2010 and 2011. However, expectations for profits for 2009 was down considerably from last year (65% vs. 40%), but 70% of businesses expected profits to increase for 2010. “It is encouraging that U.S. businesses in Thailand are optimistic about both business expansion and profit growth for next year” said Dave Carden, AMCHAM President“. Only 4% of our members planned to decrease their business activity in Thailand, which is pretty consistent with past years”.

| STRATEGY TARGETING ORGANIZED PIRACY (STOP!) | ||
|
Intellectual property rights (IPR) encourage the innovation and creativity that is fundamental to sustained economic growth. Unfortunately, the growing global trade in pirated and counterfeit goods threatens innovation, workers' livelihoods, health, and safety. Fake products - such as CDs, DVDs, software, electronic equipment, clothing, pharmaceutical products, and auto parts - account for an estimated 5 to 7 percent of global trade. This trade costs legitimate rights holders around the world billions of dollars annually. The Strategy Targeting Organized Piracy (STOP!) is a comprehensive program to stop trade in pirated and counterfeit goods. www.StopFakes.gov provides information about obtaining and enforcing intellectual property rights. |
