The Ministry of Commerce estimates that exports will grow by 9.4-10.4% this year, driven by clearer US tariffs, global economic recovery and rising demand for digital technology products, agricultural products and food.
Nantapong Chiralerspong, director-general of the Ministry of Commerce's Trade Policy and Strategy Office, said exports expanded by 19% year-on-year toUS$30.9 billion in September, marking the 15th consecutive month of growth and the highest rate of growth since April 2023.
Imports tallied $29.6 billion, a 17.2% year-on-year growth during the same period.
In the first nine months of this year, exports grew by 13.9% to $254.1 billion and imports rose by 11.9% to $254.5 billion.
