Thailand's exports are expected to reach nine trillion baht by the end of the year, before increasing further to 9.25 trillion baht next year, amid predictions of higher-than-expected economic growth, according to the Commerce Ministry.
Commerce Minister Jurin Laksanawisit said at a forum on Sunday that this year exports are on track to grow by 7% from last year's total of 8.5 trillion baht, despite the grim world economic situation.
Mr Jurin was speaking at the Hmong Economic Leaders Forum 2022 which brought together leading figures of Hmong descent in the country. The forum in Chiang Mai was attended by more than 1,000 people.
