Imports were valued at US$38,496.6 million, up 35.7%, resulting in a trade deficit of US$3,339.5 million.<\/p>\n

Overall, in the first three months of 2026, exports were valued at US$96,169.9 million, up 17.6% from the same period of the previous year.<\/p>\n

Imports were valued at US$105,646.4 million, up 32.4%, resulting in a trade deficit of US$9,476.6 million.<\/p>\n

On the Middle East issue, the impact on exports began to be seen in March.<\/p>\n

Thailand\u2019s major export market in the region is the UAE, which has already declined.<\/p>\n

TPSO has set out three scenarios for Thai exports in 2026.<\/p>\n

In the best-case scenario, exports would expand by 8%, with a value of US$366,806 million, assuming current problems ease in the second quarter, electronics continue to grow and remain a real supply-chain driver supporting Thai exports, and global demand remains in place.<\/p>\n

In the second scenario, exports would expand by 3%, with a value of US$349,824 million, assuming the conflict does not significantly affect shipping routes and the global economic slowdown and inflation are not severe and remain manageable.<\/p>\n
