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.
