Abstracts

Thailand’s economy will see a modest improvement in 2016. A fiscal stimulus, lower fuel costs and better security provide support. The government continues to struggle to revive the sluggish economy owing to a slump in private investment. Consumption is also held back by household debt, low levels of farm income and slow growth in wages. Rates of growth should exceed 4% per year in the medium term as public and private investment as well as exports gather strength.
