Growing exports will be instrumental to the country's growth in the second quarter, Mr Somkid said yesterday at Thailand Industry Expo 2017, which was organised by the Industry Ministry under the theme "One Transformation, Thousand Opportunities". "The growing export sector and tourism will play key roles this year in driving economic growth this year to 3.5-3.8% as targeted," he said. Mr Somkid yesterday told the Industry Ministry to help promote and upgrade service industries, particularly small-scale operators in the tourism industry, and speed up the development of bioeconomy.
