Thai Exports Seen Stagnant or Down 1% This Year
Thailand’s exports are expected to be flat or fall by about 1% this year, Commerce Minister Suphajee Suthumpun said on Monday, as Reuters reported. Last Friday, the Ministry of Commerce’s Trade Policy and Strategy Office forecast a potential slowdown in exports, with growth expected to range between -3.1% and +1.1% this year, due to US tariffs, geopolitical tensions, and a stronger Thai baht. Latest data showed that total exports rose 12.9% last year to USD 339.64 billion. Thailand’s total trade with the US reached USD 93.65 billion, with exports of USD 72.51 billion and imports of USD 21.15 billion, resulting in a trade surplus of USD 51.36 billion. However, the US remained a key export market, with outbound shipments surging 54.3% in December. Meanwhile, China has remained a major source of imports, particularly capital goods and raw materials, and Thailand’s trade balance with China continues to show a deficit.
