The report of the Ministry of Commerce (P) has revealed that domestic political problems have been in existence for 6 months, and there has not been any easing trend. The Ministry of Commerce has begun to worry that this year's export growth rate will be difficult to achieve the original target of 5%. The depreciation of the Thai baht exchange rate and the sustained recovery of the global economy will benefit exports.

The Ministry of Commerce may cut its target export growth rate to 3% this year, but it still needs to wait for a business meeting in May before deciding.

< p > because the proportion of exports to Thailand's gross domestic product (GDP) is as high as 75-80%, if the growth of exports is not as expected, it will affect GDP growth.

Statistics from the Ministry of Commerce show that in February this year, the value of exports was 18 billion 363 million US dollars, which was 2.43% higher than that of the previous year. The import volume was 16 billion 596 million US dollars, the annual ratio decreased by 16.62%, and the trade account surplus was 1 billion 767 million US dollars.

The total value of exports in the first 2 months of this year was US $36 billion 270 million 800 thousand, an annual increase of 0.2%, the import value of US $37 billion 24 million 500 thousand, the annual reduction of 16%, and the trade deficit of 753 million 600 thousand US dollars.

Less than p ago, the Thailand marine Exporters Association predicted that zero export growth in the first quarter of this year was due to the continuation of domestic political problems and the global economic fluctuations. However, the association still has a target of export growth of 5% this year.

There are still many risk factors for export this year, especially the spread of the domestic political situation, which has an impact on pport costs and trade negotiations.

At the same time, exchange rate, international oil price and Japanese tax rate increased from 5% to 8%, which is also one of the factors that affect export performance.

The association will consider adjusting the target export growth rate after the first quarter.
