Thailand in Focus :: Thai On Track To Achieve 3 Per Cent Growth Target

29/07/2015
The Thai economy is still on track to record three per cent growth despite weak export performance, said Head of National Economic Affairs and Deputy Prime Minister, Pridiyathorn Devakula.

He said the strong growth in the tourism sector, government spending and private investment will offset the decline in exports and help achieve the target. Meanwhile, Deputy Minister of Commerce, Apiradi Tantrapron, said the top 10 exporting countries had been facing sharp drop in export, among them Singapore and Malaysia.

She said the export volume has remained and not dropped.

"It is only the values that are down because of the low prices for oil and agricultural products," she said. Credit and view full story at Bernama
