After a roller-coaster of sharp drops, vigorous rebounds and mild contractions, Gross Domestic Product (GDP) was up 4.8 percent in the last quarter of 2010 on a seasonally-adjusted annualized (SAAR) basis, closer to pre-crisis, normal levels. For 2010 as a whole, GDP expanded by 7.8 percent from 2009. Growth was broad-based, with significant contributions from external and domestic demands. Thailand's economy is one of the most energy intensive in the region because of the large (and growing) share of energy-intensive manufacturing in the economy and high proportion of cargo transported by trucks. Thailand can reduce its vulnerability to oil price shocks by raising fuel standards, improving tax incentives for conservation and relying more on rail for cargo transport.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOADVANCED ECONOMIESAGRICULTURAL OUTPUTAGRICULTURAL PRICESAGRICULTUREALTERNATIVE ENERGYALTERNATIVE INVESTMENTASSETSBALANCE OF PAYMENTSBANK LENDINGBANK OFFICEBILLBONDBOND MARKETBOND MARKETSCAPITAL FLOWSCAPITAL GOODSCAPITAL INFLOWSCAPITAL MARKETCAPITAL MARKET DEVELOPMENTCOMMERCECOMMODITYCOMMODITY PRICESCONSENSUS FORECASTSCONSOLIDATIONCONSUMER CONFIDENCECONSUMER PRICECONSUMER PRICE INDEXCONSUMER PRICESCONSUMERSCONSUMPTION GROWTHCOPPER PRICESCORE INFLATIONCOST OF LIVINGCREDIT BUREAUCURRENCYCURRENCY APPRECIATIONCURRENT ACCOUNTCURRENT ACCOUNT SURPLUSDAMAGESDEBTDEBT CRISISDEBT INSTRUMENTSDEMAND GROWTHDEPENDENCY RATIOSDEPOSITDEPOSIT RATESDEPRECIATIONDEVELOPING ECONOMIESDEVELOPMENT ECONOMICSDISPOSABLE INCOMEDIVERSIFICATION OF EXPORTDOMESTIC CONSUMPTIONDOMESTIC DEMANDDOMESTIC DEMAND GROWTHDOMESTIC DEMANDSDURABLE GOODSECONOMIC COOPERATIONECONOMIC DISRUPTIONSECONOMIC GROWTHECONOMIC OUTLOOKECONOMIC PERFORMANCEEMERGING MARKETEMERGING MARKET ECONOMIESENERGY PRICESEQUILIBRIUMEQUILIBRIUM LEVELEQUITIESEXCHANGE BANKEXCHANGE COMMISSIONEXCHANGE RATEEXPENDITUREEXPENDITURESEXPORT DIVERSIFICATIONEXPORT GOODSEXPORT GROWTHEXPORT MARKETSEXPORT PERFORMANCEEXPORT VOLUMEEXPORT VOLUMESEXPORTERSEXPORTSEXTERNAL DEMANDFERTILITY RATEFINANCIAL CRISISFINANCIAL INSTITUTIONFINANCIAL INSTITUTIONSFINANCIAL INTERMEDIATIONFINANCIAL SECTORFISCAL DEFICITFISCAL POLICYFISCAL POSITIONFOOD PRICEFOOD PRICESFORECASTSFOREIGN CAPITALFOREIGN DIRECT INVESTMENTFOREIGN INVESTMENTSFOREIGN INVESTORSFOREIGN LIABILITIESFREE TRADEFREE TRADE AGREEMENTFUTURESFUTURES EXCHANGEGDPGDP PER CAPITAGLOBAL DEMANDGLOBAL ECONOMIC PROSPECTSGLOBAL ECONOMYGLOBAL MARKETGOVERNMENT BONDSGOVERNMENT DEBTGROSS DOMESTIC PRODUCTGROSS FIXED CAPITAL FORMATIONGROSS NATIONAL INCOMEGROWTH RATEGROWTH RATESIMPORTIMPORT CONTENTIMPORT DEMANDIMPORT GROWTHIMPORTSIMPORTS GOODSINCOME GROWTHINCOMESINDUSTRIAL ECONOMICSINFLATIONINFLATION EXPECTATIONSINFLATION FORECASTINFLATIONARY DYNAMICSINFLATIONARY PRESSURESINFORMATION TECHNOLOGYINTEREST RATESINTERNATIONAL FINANCIAL STATISTICSINTERNATIONAL MARKETSINVENTORIESINVENTORYLABOR MARKETLABOR MARKETSLEADING INDICATORSLOW INTEREST RATELOW INTEREST RATESMARKET BARRIERSMARKET DEVELOPMENTMARKET ECONOMIESMARKET SHAREMARKET SHARESMERCHANDISEMERCHANDISE EXPORTMERCHANDISE EXPORTSMONETARY POLICIESMONETARY POLICYMULTINATIONAL COMPANIESNATIONAL INCOMENATURAL DISASTERSNET EXPORTSOIL COMMODITIESOIL DEMANDOIL PRICEOIL PRICESOIL SUPPLYPENSIONPENSION FUNDPOLITICAL STABILITYPOLITICAL TURMOILPORTFOLIOPOVERTY REDUCTIONPRICE CHANGESPRICE CONTROLSPRICE INDICESPRICE INFLATIONPRICE VOLATILITYPRIVATE CONSUMPTIONPRIVATE INVESTMENTPRODUCER PRICEPRODUCER PRICE INDEXPRODUCER PRICESPUBLIC DEBTPUBLIC FINANCEPUBLIC INVESTMENTPUBLIC INVESTMENTSPURCHASINGPURCHASING POWERRAPID GROWTHREAL EXCHANGE RATEREAL GDPRECESSIONREGIONAL INFLATIONREGIONAL MARKETSRETAILRETAIL TRADERISK MANAGEMENTSALESALESSECURITIESSLOWDOWNSOCIAL DEVELOPMENTSOCIAL PROTECTIONSOVEREIGN DEBTSPREADSTANDARD DEVIATIONSTOCK EXCHANGESTOCK MARKETSTOCKSSTRONG DEMANDSTRUCTURAL REFORMSUPPLY CAPACITYSUPPLY CHAINSUPPLY CHAINSSUPPLY DISRUPTIONSSUPPLY SHOCKSSUPPLY SIDESURPLUSSUSTAINABLE GROWTHTOTAL EXPORTTOTAL EXPORTSTRADABLE GOODSTRADE ACCOUNTSTRADE NEGOTIATIONSTRADE REGIMETRADING VALUESUNCERTAINTIESUNEMPLOYMENTVALUE ADDEDVALUE INDEXVOLATILITYWAGESWORLD DEVELOPMENT INDICATORSWORLD ECONOMYWORLD TRADEReportWorld Bank10.1596/27244
