THE government is urging British investors to choose to do business in the Philippines, as the country will deliver on bringing significant returns and opportunities to grow and prosper.
In September, the Thai economy saw a slowdown in economic activities, with exports declining and private consumption and manufacturing production decreasing. Despite this, government spending increased, and foreign tourism receipts improved. Inflation increased across all major categories, and the current account surplus narrowed. The labor market remained stable, with improvements in tourism-related services employment but weaknesses in the construction and trade sectors.
