At the opening ceremony of the exhibition, Slater Lars, a permanent secretary of the Ministry of Commerce of Thailand, said that the depreciation of the Thai baht promoted the overall export of Thailand. < /p >
< p > "we still believe that the ongoing demonstrations in Thailand will not affect the export target of 5% this year. Furniture exhibition, fashion show and leather show are also open as planned." She said. < /p >
< p > Ms. Stella said that the exhibition will help to increase the interest of overseas buyers, and promote Thailand's furniture exports to grow by 5% this year to 1 billion 300 million dollars, while fashion and leather products exports are expected to increase by 5% by the end of the year, and the total amount will reach 9 billion 800 million dollars. < /p >
< p > "we have set ambitious plans to build Thailand as a hub for the ASEAN market, especially in fashion and leather goods investment, trade and production," she said. "The Ministry of Commerce has established cooperation with the private sector to prepare for the development of ASEAN's economic community." < /p >

< p > < Thailand a href= "http://m.pmae.cn/" target= "_blank" > clothing < /a > Manufacturing Association chairman SukijKongpiyacharn said that the export of garment industry is expected to grow by at least 5% this year, reaching 3 billion US dollars. "As long as anti-government demonstrations do not turn into violent acts, we do not think much of it." He said. < /p >
< p > Sukij added that the main concern now is the termination of the GSP treatment in EU countries at the end of this year. If Thailand goods are no longer treated by the EU GSP, the products exported to EU countries will be subject to a 12% import tariff in 2013, which is higher than the current 9.6%, which will weaken the competitiveness of Thailand products in the EU market, especially in relation to Vietnamese products. < /p >
