THAI EXPORTS in January fell 1.98 per cent year on year to US$17.9 billion (Bt583 billion), as the country's political unrest affected traders' confidence.
This followed a positive performance in December, after a period of falling shipments.
The Commerce Ministry Tuesday reported that January imports had plunged 15.5 per cent to $20.42 billion, resulting in a trade deficit of $2.52 billion, the fourth consecutive month that the Kingdom’s trade has been in the red.
