Finance Minister Apisak Tantivorawong Monday expressed optimism that the economy would outpace the Bank of Thailand's expectations thanks to strong tailwinds from the government's mega investment in infrastructure and the reforms that aim to lay a firm
“It will be more than the central bank’s predictions because of the expected increase in government spending on infrastructure projects, and the economic reform efforts should be able to help with the expansion of the economy next year,” he told the press at an economic seminar arranged by the Stock Exchange of Thailand.
In the third revision this year, the central bank in September revised down the 2015 growth forecast to 2.7 per cent.
