In 1997, Thailand faced several barriers to economic growth, most notably the onset of the Asian Financial Crisis, which led to a collapse of the Thai baht and triggered widespread financial instability. Other challenges included high levels of corporate debt, inadequate regulatory frameworks, and a lack of transparency in the banking sector. Additionally, the economy was heavily reliant on exports, making it vulnerable to external shocks. These factors collectively hindered sustainable growth and led to a recession in the country.

The financial crisis in Thailand, often referred to as the Asian Financial Crisis, began in July 1997 when the Thai baht was devalued due to speculative attacks and a lack of foreign reserves. This led to a severe economic downturn, resulting in a collapse of the banking sector, widespread bankruptcies, and a recession. The crisis spread to other Asian countries, causing regional economic turmoil. The International Monetary Fund (IMF) intervened with a bailout package, but the crisis highlighted vulnerabilities in Thailand's financial system and the need for economic reforms.

In 1997, Thailand experienced a severe financial crisis triggered by the collapse of the Thai baht, which was forced to float after the government could no longer maintain its fixed exchange rate. This led to a rapid devaluation of the currency, resulting in widespread bankruptcies, a surge in unemployment, and significant economic contraction. The crisis quickly spread to other Asian economies, resulting in a regional financial turmoil known as the Asian Financial Crisis. In response, Thailand received a bailout from the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and implemented extensive economic reforms to stabilize its economy.
