1 Thailand Livestock Report Economic Overview of Thailand 2008 The Thai economy remained resilient through the first three quarters of this year, amidst the sharp rise in food and fuel prices. In the first three quarters of the year, real Gross Domestic Product (GDP) expanded by 5.1 percent year-on-year, compared to 4.6 percent in the same period of This was led by the robust export growth of 25 percent year-on-year in US dollar terms and 9 percent in real terms, not withstanding the continuous appreciation of the baht. Private consumption and investment also grew by more than they did in 2007, despite the sharp increase in food and fuel prices. On the other hand, public consumption and investments in real terms have contracted in the first three quarters as a result of slow disbursement rates amidst political instability and slow project completion as raw material prices rose sharply. Real GDP growth in 2008 is 2.6 percent as the global economic slowdown and domestic political unrest weigh upon growth in the last quarter. Growth in the last quarter drops sharply to less than 1 percent year-on-year as exports of goods are negatively affected by the deceleration in demand of Thailand's major export markets. Exports of services, of which more than half are tourism receipts, have also been severely affected by the political unrest since October. As a result, manufacturing and services growth in the last quarter of this year will slow down considerably. Layoffs and work hour reduction, particularly in the manufacturing sector, have also started to rise, while private investment slows. As job security and income growth uncertainties increase, consumer confidence is falling and household consumption growth has shown clear signs of a deceleration. These trends will extend into Year 2009 as the global economy continues to slow. Source : Thailand Economic Monitor December 2008

This was led by the robust export growth of 25 percent year-on-year in US dollar terms and 9 percent in real terms, not withstanding the continuous appreciation of the baht.
