Deputy Prime Minister Somkid Jatusripitak

 

Deputy Prime Minister Somkid Jatusripitak said he was okay with gross domestic product (GDP) growth of 2.4 per cent in the third quarter after it was announced on Monday (November 18) by the National Economic and Social Development Council.

 

He also hoped exports at the end of the year would not drop from the present rate.

 

Somkid asked the Finance Ministry to study additional measures to spur the real estate sector. He said foreign investors have been consulting him every week about investing in Thailand, where they believe the economy has remained strong.

Thailand's policies are often so anti-foreigners.

But as soon as they need money, the only thing they talk about is begging foreigners to help them.

Foreign tourism. Foreign investment.

Pathetic

...SOS another probe !

2.4% is quite amazing given many countries are well below this figure...almost too amazing IMO!

If 2.4% is fine now then the 4% they were predicting at the beginning of the year must have been stellar

Are you trying to compare Thailand to the top country's with vast economy's that actually have modern countries infrastructure and give Thailand as a 3rd world country billions in aid? Try comparing like for like, look no further than the countries that surround Thailand. Having ordered 3 Chinese out of date submarines from China who's own navy won't buy is not making you a big boy. Why do people keep saying but but USA, UK, the EU countries are worse. Phew! 

 Because it can’t be lied about ????
