Mr. Verasak said several positive factors would drive industrial sector growth next year such as the government's stimulus measures and the recovering global economy, which would help push up demand. The relatively weaker baht will help to boost exports, which will eventually accelerate industrial production capacity, he said.
Mr. Verasak said the International Monetary Fund (IMF) forecasts next year the global economy would grow by 3. 6% compared with an estimated 3.1% for 2015.
