Suvit: State agencies are loosening reinsThe government is hopeful for a better ranking in the World Bank's 2018 Ease of Doing Business report, saying much has been done to make Thailand more business-friendly. Thailand NSW was initiated in accordance with an Asean agreement to establish and implement the Asean Single Window. Thailand NSW began operating in 2008 and was officially kicked off in October 2011. The transaction amount handled by Thailand NSW is 6.5-7 million messages a month, including government-to-government and government-to-business secure transactions. Thailand's ranking in the World Bank's Ease of Doing Business report, which surveyed 190 countries, climbed to 46th from 49th last year.
