UTCC: Exports to grow 6.8-13.7%

there is strong possibility that the countryโs exports would expand by between 6.8 per cent and 13.7 per cent this year, the international trade studies centre at the university of the thai chamber of commerce (utcc) said on tuesday.
director ath pisalvanich said export value for 2012 is projected at us$243 billion to $559 billion.
this projection was based on the hypothesis that the us economy would grow by 1.99 per cent, 0.18 per cent for the european community and 3.38 per cent for the global economy.
however, export expansion could be minus 3.13 per cent and 4.58 per cent, a record low in three years, if the us economic growth figures were minus between 1.18 per cent and 0.98 per cent, minus 2.32 per cent and 1.28 per cent in europe and the global economy grew by between only 0.78 per cent and 1.38 per cent, he said.
mr ath said 2011 exports went up by only 16.9 per cent as the figure was down to minus 6.8 per cent in the fourth quarter, due to the great floods.
thai goods with high potential to be exported more this year included automobiles and auto-parts, natural rubber, plastic pellets and chemical products, he added.
he said the risk factors that could derail export expansion this year were the global economic slowdown, caused by the debt crisis in europe, the government’s policy to float prices of lpg used by the industry sector to allow it to move in line with market mechanism and to increase daily minimum wage of workers to 300 baht.
these would relatively reduce trade competitiveness of thai manufacturers, he added.
