Report Published: "Thailand Food & Drink Report Q4 2015"

Impeachment proceedings against former premier Yingluck Shinawatra will spark renewed political violence in Thailand, which would weigh on the nascent economic growth recovery. We may look to substantially lower our 2015 real GDP growth forecast of 4.1 % should further negative political developments be forthcoming. The Thai economy has weathered a series of economic storms in recent years (from the global financial crisis to the Japanese tsunami and devastating floods) and we do not expect the political crisis to plunge the economy into recession. However, when we combine the uncertainty posed by the political stalemate with the downbeat outlook for Thai households amid elevated debt burdens, as well as external headwinds stemming from moderating growth in China and general weakness in the Japanese economy, real GDP growth seems likely to remain weak. As a result, we see downside risks to our food consumption forecast s for 2015. Over the long term, however, we believe growth will be steady as the country's food and retail sector have huge potential.
