THAILAND'S fourth-quarter economic growth is expected to be similar to the third as the junta's economic measures have lifted the confidence of consumers and investors, a deputy prime minister said on Wednesday.

The economy grew 2.9 per cent year-on-year in the July-September quarter and 1.0 per cent from the previous quarter, beating forecasts.
