Thailand Economic Monitor July 2021: The Road to Recovery

July 13, 2021--Key Findings
Successive waves of COVID-19 disrupted the Thai economy in the first half of 2021, but their impact was mitigated by recovering global demand and substantial fiscal support.

The shock of the second wave caused the economy to contract by -2.6 percent in the first quarter of 2021, following a 6.1 percent drop in GDP in 2020-one of the steepest contractions among Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) member states.

A third wave of infections emerged in April 2021 has proven especially severe with strict containment measures reducing mobility and negatively affecting consumption and business sentiment.

Exports of goods have provided substantial support to the Thai economy, driven by recovering global demand for automotive parts, electronics, machinery, and agricultural products.

Economic activity is not expected to return to its pre-pandemic levels until 2022, and the recovery is projected to be slow and uneven.

China: Economic Activity Continues to Normalize though Some Risks Remain-World Bank Report

June 29, 2021--China's recovery has broadened as economic activity has continued to normalize. Economic growth in China is projected to reach 8.5 percent this year before slowing to 5.4 percent in 2022, as low base effects dissipate and the economy returns to trend growth.

Improved consumer and business confidence and better labor market conditions will support a shift towards private domestic demand from public investment and exports. On the supply side, the drivers of economic growth are expected to gradually transition from industrial production toward services, according to Beyond the Recovery: Charting a Green and Inclusive Growth Path, the latest China Economic Update released today by the World Bank.

Risks to China's economic outlook are broadly balanced. On the downside, repeated COVID-19 outbreaks could disrupt economic activity, despite efforts to suppress the spread of the virus. Bilateral tensions with key trading partners and financial stability risks associated with high corporate leverage and inflated property markets could also derail growth prospects.

Five Things to Know About Thailand's Economy and COVID-19

June 23, 2021--Like many countries, Thailand's economy was hit hard by the COVID-19 pandemic last year. The country's GDP fell by over 6 percent in 2020 and many workers, especially those related to the tourism sector, lost their jobs.

This was despite decisive action on the government's part to implement a package of fiscal, monetary, and financial policies to mitigate the impact of the virus on the country.

According to the IMF's latest annual assessment or Article IV consultation, Thailand's economy is forecast to grow at 2.6 percent in 2021, and a surge in COVID-19 infections in the country and the region since the beginning of the year highlights the uncertainty about the path of the pandemic and the importance of continued efforts to contain the spread of the virus for a strong and durable recovery.
