Retailers Association hopes for government measures to support

Mr. Nat Wongpanich, President of the Thai Retailers Association, said that the overall retail picture in 2024 is not as bright as it should be due to factors affecting households and retail entrepreneurs, such as economic growth that is not as the government expected, causing more than 37% of retail entrepreneurs to produce or stock products that are more than appropriate, contraction in investment that affects employment and consumption rates, high household debt and SME debt burden, as well as the measure of distributing 10,000 baht to 14.5 million vulnerable people, which has not been able to clearly stimulate the economy and still needs to wait for clarity in the next phase that will be distributed to the elderly and other groups, along with the major flood that caused damage to the economy of more than 50-60 billion baht, including the uncertain future of the economy and global trade from policies under President Donald Trump, all of which affect people's confidence in spending. สล็อต เว็บตรง
