Hopes and wishes for 2025

Quick Summary:

The government, led by the Pheu Thai Party, has undergone two changes of leadership in the past year and faced criticism for its lack of solid economic progress.

Mr Aat projected 20,000 to 30,000 Thai SMEs shuttered last year, with another 50,000 to 100,000 expected to close in 2025 as the deluge of Chinese goods into Thailand continues, especially if US president-elect Donald Trump raises tariffs on Chinese products.

If pickup manufacturing is increased, parts makers along the supply chain can sell more products, while the government will collect more excise and value-added taxes from higher pickup sales.
