Change In Economic Direction For Thailand's New PM?

Thailand’s new Prime Minister, Paetongtarn Shinawatra, is inheriting a country that has seen a lower level of economic growth compared to its peers in the region for the past few years. Nonetheless, the Thai economy has been perking up as seen in data from the second quarter of 2024. What sort of policies might her government implement to sustain the apparent positive signs in Thailand’s economy, and what is its outlook in the coming months? We discuss with Erica Tay, Director of Macro Research at Maybank Singapore.
