Thailand's economic growth is expected to slow this year due to rising global trade tensions and domestic political uncertainty, Deputy Prime Minister Somkid Jatusripitak said on Wednesday.
The US-China trade dispute has had a big impact on Thailand's trade-dependent economy, while the still unclear domestic situation has kept investors away, Mr Somkid told reporters.
Thailand held a general election on March 24 but the next administration has yet to be formed.
Southeast Asia's second-largest economy expanded 4.1% last year, its fastest pace in six years. The Finance Ministry expects growth of 3.8% this year.
