Thai April exports miss forecast over Ukraine war and China lockdown


BANGKOK, May 29 (Reuters): Thailand's exports in April rose at a much slower pace than the previous month and less than expected, commerce ministry data showed on Friday, coming under the pressure of Russia's invasion of Ukraine and China's lockdown measures.

Exports, a key driver of Thai growth, increased 9.9% in April from a year earlier, missing a forecast 14.6% rise in a Reuters poll, and against March's 19.5% jump.
