Exports from Thailand grew in March for the second consecutive month, but appear to have lost much of their steam following February’s unexpected jump, Yahoo reported. Exports grew 1.3% year-on-year in March according to customs-based export data from the Bank of Thailand, easily beating economist expectations of a 4.6% fall. However in February the gauge, which gives an early and widely-eyed snapshot of trade over the month prior, rose 10.7% in February–the first rise since December 2014 and a sharp turnaround from January, when they fell 8.91%. Imports fell 6.94% year on year.
