Govt more democratic this year, survey finds
The government is delighted with a new Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU) report that Thailand’s ranking on a democracy index has improved more than any other country in the world over the past year, says government spokesman Anucha Burapachaisri.
Mr Anucha, who is also deputy secretary-general to the prime minister, said the EIU’s democracy index for 2022 increased Thailand’s score to 6.67 from 6.04 in 2021, raising the country’s position from 72nd to 55th in the global ranking of 167 countries.
