Supply chain risk in Thailand

Thailand carries a composite country risk of 71.4 out of 100 — the high band, rank 10 of 50 countries in the Tieron reference catalog. Below: the four published indices behind that number with their weights, and what the composite becomes once it is combined with each of 33 manufacturing sectors.
