BANGKOK (The Nation/ANN): Thailand’s exports entered the positive territory in March after contracting 4.47 per cent in February, the Commerce Ministry’s Trade Policy and Strategy Office (TPSO) said on Tuesday (April 21).
TPSO expects exports in the first quarter of this year to not contract as shipments from the country in January and March were high.
“However, it is difficult to forecast the direction exports will take in response to the pandemic, ” the official added. “The move is to listen to problems, suggestions and come up with ways to work with the private sector before implementing measures to drive the economy, ” he said.
