Fetco says country likely to avoid a recession

Thailand should avoid a recession because of its strong recovery in tourism, though the International Monetary Fund (IMF) expects 25% of emerging markets to face an economic and financial crisis in 1-2 years, according to Kobsak Pootrakool, chairman of Fetco and senior executive vice-president at Bangkok Bank.

He said volatility in both money markets and stock markets will continue because a recession will begin next year.
