Thailand exports climbed 15.6% in October

Rebound attributed to base effects from flooding.

BBVA notes that Thailand's exports climbed by 15.6% y/y in October (consensus: 20.0%) from 0.2% y/y the prior month on a strong base effect, as October last year was the first month in which exports were dragged down by enormous flooding in the country.

"For Thailand, the focus will now turn to the Bank of Thailand’s (BoT) policy meeting on Wednesday, where we expect a 25 bps cut given weak exports and low inflation, though it will be a very close call - the BoT may hold off for now in order to see whether the external environment improves," it added.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
