BANGKOK, Nov 20 (Reuters): Thailand's economy is expected to grow between 3.5% to 4.5% next year driven by increased exports and a recovery in the country's vital tourism sector, its finance minister said on Saturday.

This year's growth is expected at 1.0% to 1.2% and monetary policy must support fiscal policy in helping the economic recovery which remains very fragile, Arkhom Termpittayapaisith told a business seminar.
