Private investment declined in July as a result of the prolonged pandemic, but the export sector has continued to expand for five consecutive months, said Fiscal Policy Office deputy spokesperson Wuttipong Jittungsakul.
On Monday the office published economic data for July, which revealed that sales of passenger cars and newly registered motorcycles declined by 9.8% and 17.7% year-on-year, respectively, as people continued to be worried about Covid-19.
