Neighbour's growth tops Thailand
Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul says it is a "nightmare" to see Thailand's economy lagging behind Vietnam.
In his keynote speech at the Economic Reporters Association’s annual seminar, the premier said Thailand has fallen behind Vietnam, describing it as his worst nightmare and noting he never imagined Thailand would grow more slowly than other nations in Indochina.
"We need to work together as this is not beyond our capability. In the past we were leaders. With the strong foundations of the industrial and agricultural sectors, and Thai society as a whole, I am confident we can achieve renewed growth as the Thai economy remains resilient," he said.
