Business leaders believe trade tensions between the US, China, Europe, Canada, Mexico and India will have a limited impact on Thai exports.

THE Thai National Shippers’ Council (TNSC) said export growth this year could come in well below its estimate of 5.5 per cent due to a stronger baht and the recent increases in the country’s minimum daily wage. The more downbeat view has prompted the influential group to call on the government to launch relief measures to shore up Thai exports.
