The Thai export sector faces a spate of challenges in 2023, with a trade group forecasting that shipments may decline by as much as 7.4% in the first half of the year.
Chaichan Chareonsuk, chairman of the Thai National Shippers' Council (TNSC), said yesterday that it expects Thai exports to contract by up to 10% year-on-year in the first quarter, partially attributed to high growth in the first quarter of 2022.
