BANGKOK: Thailand’s exports are expected to rise by 5% this year, compared with a previous forecast of 5% to 8% growth, due to uncertainty over the Russia-Ukraine war, the national shippers’ council said on Tuesday.
The group predicted exports would increase by 8% in the first quarter from a year earlier and by 2% to 4% in the second quarter.
In the whole of 2021, exports jumped 17.1%.
