The World Bank forecasts 0.5 per cent growth rate for Thailand's exports in 2015.
As exports should recover in the second half, higher tourism revenue as well as public investment should help the economy register a 3.5 per cent growth rate this year, said Kirida Bhaopichitr, the economist of World Bank Thailand.
The export growth could rise above 0.5 per cent if the Thai baht weakens below the average exchange rate forecast of 33.50 per US dollar, she said.
