Thai listed companies recorded a nearly 80% rise in net profit to 986 billion baht in 2021, as rising oil and commodity prices supported related businesses and the government's easing of pandemic restrictions spurred economic recovery.
Manpong Senanarong, senior executive vice-president at the Stock Exchange of Thailand (SET), said 757 companies from a total of 780 listed on the SET and Market for Alternative Investment (MAI) have submitted their annual financial performance reports.
He said that of 757 companies, 592 companies have recorded net profits, representing 78.1% of the listed companies that submitted their financial statements.
