SET to Reclassify Service Industry Firms to New Sectors
beginning January 3, 2006
The Stock Exchange of Thailand (SET) reclassified the business
sectors in 2005 and grouped all listed companies into their most
appropriate sectors.The SET will now reclassify firms within the
service industry by changing the names and definitions of some
sectors and regrouping all listed companies by sector.This new
classification system will better encompass the expanding new
business areas and more adequately reflect the core businesses
of firms preparing to list on the SET.The sector reclassification
will occur in the following two ways:
1. Changes will be made in the names and definitions of sectors.
"Hotel and travel service" will be renamed "Tourism and Leisure".
The sector's definition will be modified to include leisure and
recreation businesses, e.g., zoos, entertainment complexes,
fitness centers and stadiums. See the following table:
|----------Original----------|---------------New------------|
| Sector Name | Symbol | Sector Name | Symbol |
|---------------|------------|---------------|--------------|
| Hotel and | HOTEL | Tourism and | TOURISM |
| Travel | | Leisure | |
| Service | |---------------|--------------|
| | | Including leisure and |
| | | recreation businesses, |
| | | e.g., zoos, entertainment |
| | | complexes, fitness centers |
| | | and stadiums. |
|---------------|------------|------------------------------|
2. Related business sectors which have the same business
operation movements will be combined. The "Entertainment
and Recreation" sector will be renamed the "Media and
Publishing" sector. This sector will have its definition
modified to include medias production and distribution,
including printing , magazines, newspapers, and advertising
agencies.This will allow the merging of the "Printing and
Publishing"sector intothe new "Media and Publishing"sector.
See the following table:
