The Thai National Shippers' Council (TNSC) still believes exports can eke out growth of 0-1% this year. Thai exports from May to June are likely to slightly contract year-on-year, resulting in a 5-6% decline for the first half of the year. However, the chairman of TNSC sees opportunities in the second half to accelerate export growth and achieve a 0-1% gain for the full year. The group asked the Bank of Thailand to carefully consider adjusting interest rates to prevent an excessive burden on small and medium-sized enterprises. The TNSC also urged the government to provide appropriate electricity management services to mitigate the impact on production costs and maintain a competitive advantage with key trading partners.
