Thai Baht Affects Siam Cement's Profit

2004-11-25 00:00:00
Siam Cement, Thailand's largest cement company, will make plans for 2005 in response to the falling dollar and the possible devaluation of the Chinese yuan. The strength of the Thai currency, the baht, affects the company's export trade, which accounts for 30% of the company's total revenue, although the impact is small on the bottom line. The exchange rate of the Thai baht to the dollar will reduce the company's revenue by 400 million to 500 million baht, which is not much compared with the company's net profit of 24 billion baht in the first nine months of this year.

Siam & nbsp; Cement & nbsp; PCL & nbsp;, & nbsp; Thailand's largest industrial conglomerate, said its management will meet  next week to revise the group's business strategies for next  year in light of a weakening dollar and a possible revaluation  of the Chinese yuan, the Bangkok Post reports. 

The baht's  strength is expected to hurt the group's export business, which  accounts for 30% of its total revenues, though the impact on  its bottom line would be minimal, the report says citing the  company's execut vice president Kan Trakulhoon. 

He said every  THB1 gain against the dollar will reduce the company's revenue  by THB400 million-THB500 million - a small amount relative to  its THB24 billion net profit for the first nine months of  This & nbsp; year. & nbsp;

In 2003, Thailand's economic growth rate was 6.7%, the highest since the financial turmoil in 1997. The high growth rate was attributed to low domestic interest rates, more advantageous prices for agricultural products, growth in investment and exports, and many government incentives. These favourable factors contributed to the development of the construction sector, which registered a growth rate of 3.4% compared to 2002. In December 2003, 59.9% of the capacity for the use of construction materials was recorded, also as a result of developments in the construction industry.
