Thailand's export growth slows but central bank sees limited impact from Red Sea attacks


BANGKOK: Thailand's November exports increased less than in October leading to a current account deficit, the central bank said on Thursday, forecasting a limited impact on trade from Houthi attacks on ships in the Red Sea.

Exports, a key driver of Thai growth, rose 3.9% in November from a year earlier, after October's 7% increase on the year, the Bank of Thailand (BOT) said in a statement.
