To keep you updated with Thailand's economy, a summary of the World Bank's Thailand Monthly Economic Monitor, September 2023 has been prepared for you. < Back Thailand’s economy experienced a slow but steady revival, primarily driven by private consumption 28 Sept 2023 As for the general economy, it gradually continues to recover. The main driver being increased private consumption, a strong labour market and a moderately recovering tourism sector. However, the situation is different when it comes to goods exports. Goods exports declined with 5.5% (year-on-year), making it the tenth consecutive month of contraction. The major reason behind the contraction this month being a decline in both manufacturing and agricultural exports. When it comes to the outlook for Foreign Direct Investments (FDI), it has mainly been supported by the economic recovery and investment promotion efforts. There is an increased interest in certain targeted industries such as electronics, food processing, and the automotive sector in which the electronic vehicle supply chain stands out. The inflation continues to be very low, though a minor increase was seen in August. The reason behind the increase being rising energy and food prices. As seen from the first ten months, fiscal consolidation has progressed at a slow pace due to the implementation of energy subsidies. However, the central government's fiscal deficit decreased to 4.3% of GDP, compared to 6.2% in the same period last year. As for the public debt, it remained stable at 61.7% of GDP as of July. Regarding the newly formed government, they have set up policy priorities that aim to stimulate household spending. This includes a provided one-time transfer of 10 000 THB via digital wallets to all individuals aged 16 and above. This, together with additional cuts in energy prices, and by postponing debt repayments for (1) farmers; (2) small and medium enterprises; and (3) individuals for three years, all serves the purpose to reduce the cost of living in the country. However, some of these efforts would lead to increased fiscal costs. Lastly, Thailand´s current account balance recorded a deficit of 1.1% of GDP in July due to a declining goods trade surplus and increased deficits in services, primary and secondary income.

< Back Sweden Pavilion at SX Sustainability Expo 2023, 2-8 October 2023 Between the 2 October and 8 October, SweCham jointly with the Embassy of Sweden organised the Sweden Pavilion and participated in the SX Sustainability Expo 2023 at the Queen Sirikit National Convention Center (QSNCC). The Sweden Pavilion featured four exhibitors: the Swedish Embassy, Sentinel Solution, Tetra Pak Thailand, and Hitachi Energy. The Swedish Embassy showcased the ‘Re:waste –how Sweden is rethinking Resources’ exhibition at the Sweden Pavilion, unveiling Sweden's innovative solutions to rethink resources and combat the damaging impact of waste on our planet. From ocean contamination to wildlife harm, poor waste management affects us all. The key? A collective effort involving politics, research, innovation, and citizen action. Companies must be responsible, governments need efficient waste systems, and individuals can make a change through reducing, reusing, and recycling. Scrutinising product lifecycles and embracing a circular approach is vital. Our heartfelt thanks to the Embassy of Sweden in Bangkok for spotlighting this essential cause. Kudos to everyone who visited the exhibition– your awareness fuels the journey towards a sustainable world. Let's keep this momentum going! Sentinel Solution showcased their water savings solution innovation, developed by the Swedish company ALTERED. This solution makes it possible to reduce the tap water consumption with 98% in the mist mode and 85% in spray mode. This is done by adding on a small extension which filter through the water and thereby reduces the water consumption. Thanks to this innovative solution, water that would have otherwise been wasted can now be redirected for more meaningful purposes. By integrating this technology into taps, homes, offices, and hotels can enhance their sustainability efforts. Not only does this innovation minimise water spillage, but it also leads to substantial reductions in water bills, making it a win-win situation for both the environment and financial conservation. We would like to thank Sentinel Solution for being a part of the Sweden Pavilion this year and for contributing to rethinking resources and optimising the use of water! To learn more about Sentinel Solution, please go to www.sentinelsolutionthailand.com Tetra Pak, a global leader in packaging solutions, took centre stage at the SX Sustainability Expo 2023 in the Sweden Pavilion, showcasing their commitment to the circular economy. Tetra Pak Thailand showcased the inspiring 'Green Shelter Project,' demonstrating the transformation of used beverage cartons into eco-friendly construction materials for disaster-affected communities in collaboration with local organisations. Teaming up with local Thai waste recycling partners, Tetra Pak supports the recycling process, separating the carton layers – paper, foil, and plastic, allowing for the repurposing and reimagining of materials. This waste now shapes building blocks, roofs, tables, chairs, and even everyday items like trays and stationary holders. A true second chance for these cartons! Big thanks to Tetra Pak Thailand for being a part of the Sweden Pavilion this year and for contributing to the circular economy and society! To learn more about Tetra Pak, please visit https://www.tetrapak.com/en-th Hitachi Energy joined the Sweden Pavilion at the SX Sustainability Expo where they presented their so called EconiQ-an Eco-efficient portfolio for reducing environmental impact and increasing energy efficiency whilst future-proofing technology investments.

The Executive Director of the Thai-Swedish Chamber of Commerce, Anna Olsson-Moore, and President Peter Björk, along with representatives from the Norwegian and Danish Chambers of Commerce, had the privilege of meeting Paul Verhagen, Executive Vice President and Chief Commercial Officer of Scandinavian Airlines (SAS).   < Back SAS: A New Chapter for Scandinavian Airlines 14 Nov 2024 The Executive Director of the Thai-Swedish Chamber of Commerce, Anna Olsson-Moore, and President Peter Björk, along with representatives from the Norwegian and Danish Chambers of Commerce, had the privilege of meeting Paul Verhagen, Executive Vice President and Chief Commercial Officer of Scandinavian Airlines (SAS). Since joining the SAS Executive Leadership Team on August 14, 2023, Verhagen has overseen significant developments in SAS’s operations. During his recent visit to Bangkok, he provided key updates on SAS’s renewed routes to Thailand and shared the airline’s ambitious plans for further expansion in the region. This insightful discussion, hosted in collaboration with other Nordic Chambers at the Pacific Club, also underscored SAS’s intention to add more destinations as part of its strategy to strengthen its presence in Southeast Asia. After a 10-year hiatus, SAS made a significant return to the Thai market in 2023, capitalizing on the strong resurgence in global tourism. A major milestone in this comeback was the launch of the airline’s inaugural direct flight from Copenhagen to Bangkok, marking a fresh chapter for SAS in the region. This new route is part of the airline’s strategy to tap into the growing Scandinavian market, which had seen a decline in travel to Thailand prior to the pandemic due to economic challenges. With Thailand’s tourism industry bouncing back, SAS’s return to the Thai market comes at an ideal moment, and the airline is focused on reinforcing its connections with the Scandinavian region. The 2023 launch of the Copenhagen-Bangkok route signals SAS’s commitment to enhancing its network and catering to the rising demand for travel to Thailand. Previous Next
