Thailand's tourism-reliant economy likely returned to growth in Q4


BANGKOK, Feb 18 (Reuters): Thailand's economy likely returned to growth in the fourth quarter thanks to robust exports and easing of Covid-19 curbs, but the suspension of a quarantine waiver for foreign tourists probably dented the recovery, a Reuters poll found.

Growth in the tourism-dependent economy rebounded last quarter to 0.7% year-on-year after shrinking 0.3% in the July-September period, according to the median forecast of 12 economists polled Feb. 11-17.
