Thailand's Gross Domestic Product (GDP) figures expanded by 2.3 percent in the second quarter after accelerating from a 1.6 percent growth in the first quarter of 2024. The growth was driven by stronger private consumption, government consumption, tourism and exports while the country's economic outlook for the entire 2024 is forecasted to grow by 2.3 to 2.8 percent with a median estimate of 2.5 percent, according to Danucha Pichayanan, the Secretary-general of the National Economic and Social Development Council (NESDC), the Thai government's planning agency.
