Thai Bilateral Trade Falls
TUESDAY, 21 JUNE 2016 – Bilateral trade between Cambodia and Thailand fell by about 15 percent in the first four months of the year, compared to the same period last year, due to the Kingdom’s decreasing imports of oil, food and beverages from its neighbor.
Jiranun Wongmongkol, Minister Counsellor (Commercial) of the Royal Thai Embassy, said at a press conference to launch the second SME Thailand Exhibition 2016 that in the first four months of this year, the trade volume between Thailand and Cambodia reached about $1.7 billion. This, she said, was a drop of about 15 percent compared to the trade volume of $2 billion in the same period last year.
