2016 Export Value Projected to Contract only 1.8% as 8M16 Shipment Value Shrank 1.2% (Business Brief No.3640 Full Ed.)

คะแนนเฉลี่ย
The value of Thai merchandise exports in August resumed growth of 6.5 percent YoY for the first time after shrinking throughout the past four months. The increase was buoyed largely by higher shipments of cars & auto equipment/components, air-conditioners and processed agricultural products, as well as a low 2016 base. As a result, the value of Thai shipments in 8M15 contracted only 1.2 percent YoY.
