Council optimistic on export outlookA container is loaded at the Port Authority of Thailand. Chaichan Chareonsuk, chairman of the Thai National Shippers’ Council (TNSC), said with export growth posted in August and September, and shippers indicating continuing orders for the final three months of the year, the council is confident that export performance in 2023 will not contract significantly. Exports are estimated to increase by up to 7% year-on-year in the final quarter, said Mr Chaichan. “The TNSC is maintaining the export target for this year at -1.5%, as of November,” he said. There are no signs of an export slowdown, nor issues with container shortages, said Mr Chaichan.
