On the production side, Manufacturing’s slow down was the main drag. Manufacturing production continues its decline into 2014, while Agriculture production recovered impressively. On the expenditure side, Private consumption improved slightly while Private Investment continued to slow down. FDI increased 20% in 2013. Export grew 4.2% in THB term but dropped in USD term. Positive growth occurred in all major markets. Import, however, registered a negative growth, driven by lower intermediate goods import. Tourist arrivals was on par with a year ago.

Majority of the public debt is domestic based. Balance of Payment turned positive in the first month of 2014, thanks to net service and transfer. External debt increased slightly but capability to repay is not a concern as debt service ratio remained low and international reserves is at healthy level. THB appreciated against a basket of key currencies in February.
