Thai July exports rise 4.3% year on year, below forecast

BANGKOK: Thailand's customs-based exports rose 4.3 per cent in July from a year earlier, the commerce minister said on Friday (Aug 26), missing analysts' expectations.

That compares with a forecast rise of 11.15 per cent in July in a Reuters poll, and after June's 11.9 per cent increase. In the January-July period, exports rose 11.5 per cent year on year, Jurin Laksanawisit told a news conference.
