The merger of True Corporation and Total Access Communication (DTAC) could reduce Thailand’s GDP growth by between 0.05% and 1.99%, depending on the level of collusion by the major operators after the merger takes place, according to a study by the National Broadcasting and Telecommunications Commission (NBTC).
This would translate to a reduction in GDP growth worth between 8.2 billion baht and 323 billion baht, based on the country’s GDP in 2021.
