BANGKOK (Reuters) - Thailand's economy is expected to grow 4% in 2021 after a 6% contraction projected for this year, due to improving domestic consumption, the finance minister said on Monday.

 

Fiscal policy should provide more support for the tourism-reliant economy and the budget for the next fiscal year will focus on boosting domestic activity, Finance minister Arkhom Termpittayapaisith told a business forum.

that means they still in the Red (contraction) by 2% , nothing to brag about then

2% contraction makes this a better forecast than--: America--Australia -- Britain. Or any other E.U country..

But it is just that...a Forecast.  Thailand has not always been correct in its forecasts.
