Thailand's industrial sector has shown signs of recovery in October, with the latest data revealing that the industrial production index improved to -0.91%, compared to the previous month's contraction of -3.51%. This positive shift marks a notable year-over-year improvement as reported on November 27, 2024.
This upturn comes after several challenging months for the Thai economy, highlighting the country's resilience and gradual resurgence in manufacturing capability. The data reflects the changes between October 2024 and the corresponding month in 2023, illustrating a significant easing in the decline.
Analysts suggest that this could be an early indicator of an upward trend for the Thai economy if this progress is sustained in the coming months. The narrowed gap may well be a prelude to a return to positive growth, contingent upon global economic conditions and internal market adjustments. The improved figures have been welcomed by stakeholders as a promising sign of economic stabilization.
