UTTC cuts Thailand’s growth forecast this year to 2.6%
The Centre of Economic and Business Forecasting of the University of the Thai Chamber of Commerce (UTTC) on March 19 forecast that Thailand’s economic growth for 2024 would be 2.6%, down from its earlier projection of 3.2% due to the fragile economic recovery, a slowdown in private investment, the weak purchasing power of the consumers and delayed disbursement of the 2024 budget.
