Thailand expects exports to grow in final months of '15

Bangkok

THAI exports are expected to grow in the last three or four months of this year, helped by exports to the United States now that Washington has renewed its Generalised System of Preferences (GSP) for Thai firms, a minister said on Wednesday.

Feeble demand for Thai exports has hampered the economy for two years, exacerbating problems caused by weak domestic consumption since a period of political upheaval that culminated in a military coup in May 2014.
