World Bank-Thailand Economic Monitor January 2020: Productivity for Prosperity

January 17, 2020--Key Findings
Thailand's growth began to slow in 2019, with growth falling to 2.5 percent due to external and domestic factors
Global growth is projected to weaken to 2.4 percent in 2019 and to recover slightly to 2.5 percent in 2020, but risks are tilted to the downside on global growth, particularly for international trade.

Thailand's economy is projected to pick up moderately to 2.7 percent in 2020, underpinned by an expected slight improvement in external demand and recovery in private consumption as well as a stronger focus on public investment implementation.

Risks to Thailand's economic outlook stem from both external and domestic sources. The external risks stem from a possible continuation of the US-China trade tension and a broadening of protectionist tendencies, and domestic short-term risks mainly on the cohesiveness of the coalition government, which could impact investor confidence.
