BANGKOK (Reuters) – Thailand’s customs-based exports rose 7.5% in August from a year earlier, the commerce minister said on Monday, slightly lower than analysts’ expectations.
That compares with a forecast rise of 7.7% for August in a Reuters poll, and after July’s 4.3% increase. In the January-August period, exports rose 11% year on year, Jurin Laksanawisit told a news conference.
