A faster-than-expected rebound in international visitors is putting Thailand’s economy on course to return to pre-pandemic growth by next year, according to the prime minister.
The economy will expand by 4.2% in 2023, on top of forecast growth of 3.3% this year, Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha told a press briefing after the weekly cabinet meeting. That would match the pace in both 2017 and 2018, which represent the highest over the past decade, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
