Thai exports in 2015 are projected 4 percent of growth by the country'scommercial ministry, a significant improvement after a consecutive twoyear period of negative expansion.

The projection is relied onthe EU's Quantitative Easing (QE) policy in favour of Thailand exportgrowth, said Nanthana Sakuntanak, Director-General of the ministry’sDepartment of International Trade Promotion.

She added the EU'smonetary stimulus might help shore its economy and increase demand forThai goods despite the baht strengthening against the euro, making Thaiimports more expensive.

It is expected that Thai exports to theEU will grow by 3 percent which correlates with the growth in PurchaseOrder Index for January 2015, she said

To continue promoting theexport sector, the Commercial Ministry of Thailand also focus on otheractivities in ASEAN and in emerging economies.
