More than 50 soldiers from the southern border provinces surrounded and searched a rented house.

Because I was informed by the news that There is a person under an arrest warrant in a security case. Come and hide in the house Initially, it seems to be Mr. Abdullah’s group. and Mr. Muad Saifuddeen Accused under multiple arrest warrants

When officials arrived, they immediately closed the said road. It is feared that a clash will occur. and villagers may be caught in the crossfire For the said rental house It is a one-story rental house with 8 rooms
next to each other. The suspect house is the first room. Officers surrounded the house and called people inside the home. Until someone shouted from the house before walking out.

Bangkok, SCB EIC cuts the economic forecast for 2024 to 2.7%, pointing out that the Thai manufacturing sector is adjusting slowly, dragging down the long-term economy. It is seen that Thai interest rates will be cut 2 times within the first half of the year, expected if digital wallets occur this year. will push GDP up another 1-2%

Mr. Somprawin Manprasert, Deputy General Manager Chief Executive Officer, Economic Intelligence Center (EIC) Group and Deputy General Manager Chief Executive Officer Corporate Strategy Group Siam Commercial Bank revealed that SCB EIC estimates that the world economy in 2024 is likely to grow at 2.6%, similar to last year. The outlook has improved from good momentum in the last quarter of 2023 and economic activity that continued to expand well at the beginning of this year. with activities in the service sector expanding at an accelerated pace Meanwhile, activity in the manufacturing sector has begun to expand from a continuous contraction. In addition, the world economy will rece
ive support from global trade that is likely to improve and global inflation to slow down. But there is still pressure from the impact of the high interest rate environment. Protracted geopolitical conflict and global supply chain problems from transportation problems in the Red Sea and the dry Panama Canal.

Central banks of major economies will begin adjusting the direction of monetary policy in the second quarter of this year. The US Federal Reserve will cut interest rates 3 times, totaling 75 BPS, while the European Central Bank and the Bank of England will cut interest rates 4 times, totaling 100 BPS, in line with the direction of inflation that has slowed down. The Bank of Japan is likely to raise the policy interest rate 2 times, totaling 20 BPS, which will end the negative interest rate policy. Meanwhile, the People’s Bank of China will continue to use loose monetary policy to support the economy.

For views on the Thai economy, SCB EIC has lowered its economic forecast for 2024 to 2.7% (originally 3%
), although the overall picture of the Thai economy in 2024 is likely to continue to recover. Driven by tourism and the service sector as well as other demand-side economies that have returned to accelerate expansion in many components. Especially exports and private investment are likely to improve. But government momentum will continue to shrink in the first quarter from the delay in enacting the Budget Act for 2024, along with the problem of high accumulated inventory from last year that will not be able to be resolved quickly. Partly from structural problems in the Thai manufacturing sector. Especially the Thai export sector has lost its competitiveness. It will be an important factor causing the Thai industrial sector to continue to recover slowly this year.

t

“however It is considered that if the digital wallet policy of 500 billion baht happens in time within this year It may result in Thailand’s GDP increasing by another 1-2%, but we think public investment will help stimulate the economy more than
that,’ Mr. Somprawin

As for Thai inflation that has continued to be negative for several months, SCB EIC assesses that Thailand is not yet facing deflation. Inflation will return to positive from May as the energy price assistance measures will end. Especially the price of oil in the country will begin to increase. In addition, there is also a high risk of inflation amid the risk of global supply chain disruptions from the Red Sea situation. climate change Including export control policies of some countries that may cause the prices of some agricultural products to increase, such as rice and sugar. General inflation in the second half of the year will then accelerate back to touching the inflation range. SCB EIC estimates general inflation. and core inflation in 2024 are at 0.8% and 0.6%, respectively.

In the long term, more severe structural problems in the Thai manufacturing sector also pressure the potential of the Thai economy to decrease from past estimates. SCB EIC estimates the potential of the Thai
economy in the pre-Covid period (2017 – 2019) to be at 3.4%. Meanwhile, the long-term potential of the Thai economy has dropped to 2.7% (from the original 3% estimated as of December 2023), aggravating the long-term growth trend of the Thai economy that was already in a downward direction. The main reasons are: 1) Thailand’s total factor productivity is continually falling, partly due to the problem of declining Thai labor productivity and many government regulations that are obstacles to doing business. 2) Capital factor ) of Thailand which tends to decrease from the proportion of investment in the country which has decreased by more than half to approximately 24% of GDP in the last 2 decades and Thailand’s ability to attract foreign investment (FDI) is lower when compared Countries in the ASEAN region and 3) labor force factors (Labor) that tend to decrease due to entering a rapidly aging society.

SCB EIC estimates that the Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) will gradually reduce the policy interest rate from
the current level of 2.5% to 2% within the first half of this year. To maintain the role of neutral monetary policy towards the economy as before. This interest rate cut is in addition to adjusting the stance of monetary policy to suit the changing structure of the Thai economy and keep up with the situation. It will still have an effect in relieving the high debt burden. Especially vulnerable businesses and households may be more affected by rising interest rates than other groups. Including adding another positive factor to confidence in the Thai economy amidst government sector momentum that is still stuck this year.

The baht value in the short term will be stable in the range of 35-36 baht per US dollar. Because foreign factors have already made the baht stronger, the baht at the end of the year tends to strengthen in the range of 33.50-34.50 baht per US dollar. from the US dollar which will depreciate following the Fed’s interest rate reduction and the Thai economy is likely to recover more clearly.

Th
ailand faces major challenges due to structural problems in the industrial production sector. Although production in 2024 is likely to return to expansion due to the momentum of consumer products recovering in line with demand both domestically and abroad. But the production of Thai industrial products is still very much tied to the old supply chain. In addition, the Thai economy is very connected to the Chinese economy and the Chinese production chain in the midst of global geopolitical trends. Including the ability of the Thai manufacturing sector to adapt to the new global production chain and the slowly changing patterns of product demand in the world market. As a result, increasing the competitiveness of the Thai export sector is still quite limited. This is reflected in the share of Thai export sales in the world market that has remained close to the same throughout the decade. Therefore, the adjustment of the Thai industrial sector to be in line with the sustainability trend. Upgrading capabilities in
technology development and managing the supply chain to be more flexible To be able to connect and become part of the new global supply chain. Therefore there is an urgent need.
