Thailand's exports up 11.7% to US$20.3b in June

Thanks to foreign markets’ robust orders.

Thailand's exports for June 2017 rose by 11.7% to US$20.3b despite the firmer baht.

According to Maybank’s research reports, strong orders from markets in Japan, the US, and the EU climbed up by 26.5%, 8.2%, and 5.9%.

Moreso, exports rose by 7.8% YoY to US$114b for the half year.

Maybank analysts said, "To achieve the 5% growth, exports in Jul-Dec must hit at least US$18.7b a month. This looks achievable, as exports in the last 69 months averaged US$18.5b."

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.
