Thailand

Economic Highlights



Thailand’s current account balance in the balance of payments reversed into a deficit of USD1.5bn or -1.7% of GNI in 3Q 2014, compared with a surplus of USD0.5bn or 0.6% of GNI in the 2Q and USD8.2bn or 9.2% of GNI in the 1Q. This was due partly to the narrowing of the merchandise trade surplus during the quarter, as goods imports increased at a stronger pace relative to exports during the quarter. For the full-year, Thailand’s current account position in the balance of payments is projected to reverse into a surplus of USD13.2bn or 3.8% of GNI in 2014.
