Thailand exports climbed 15.6% in October

Rebound attributed to base effects from flooding.

BBVA notes that Thailand's exports climbed by 15.6% y/y in October (consensus: 20.0%) from 0.2% y/y the prior month on a strong base effect, as October last year was the first month in which exports were dragged down by enormous flooding in the country.

"For Thailand, the focus will now turn to the Bank of Thailand’s (BoT) policy meeting on Wednesday, where we expect a 25 bps cut given weak exports and low inflation, though it will be a very close call - the BoT may hold off for now in order to see whether the external environment improves," it added.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.


If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
