BANGKOK: Thailand's exports rose for a second straight month in May, with a much faster annual pace than analysts' expectations, data showed on Friday, and the commerce ministry said they should continue to rise this year.
Customs-cleared exports increased 7.2% in May from a year earlier, according to official data, the highest rate in four months, beating a forecast for a 1.89% increase in a Reuters poll, and against April's 6.8% increase.
