» The Thai economy will continue its recovery from last year, but is yet to reach pre-Covid levels. However, the situation is a tad better from last year. In 2022, economic growth is expected to rise by 3.5-4.0%, against 0.8% last year and 1% in 2020. This growth rate, however, still does not put the Thai economy back to its 6.1% growth level in 2019. The value of the Thai economy or its gross domestic product (GDP) is forecast to reach its 2019 level in 2023.
