Thai exports seen down 8% in Q1 y/y – shippers group

BANGKOK (Reuters) – Thailand’s exports are likely to contract 8% in the first quarter of this year from a year earlier as global demand slows, the country’s shippers’ council said on Tuesday.

That compared with a previous forecast of a fall of 3.7% in exports in January-March from a year earlier.
