Singapore dollar to tussle with baht for best regional currency


SINGAPORE (Bloomberg): The race to be South-East Asia’s best-performing currency in 2023 looks like being between the Thai baht and Singapore dollar.

The baht is set to be powered by an influx in Chinese tourists after the mainland rescinded most of its Covid controls over the past month, paving the way for a recovery in outbound travel. The mainland is also Thailand’s biggest export market so the efforts by the world’s second-largest economy to bolster growth should help too.
