BANGKOK -- Thailand's economy expanded at its slowest pace since 2014 in the three months ending in June, as the U.S.-China trade war and strong baht adversely affected Southeast Asia's second-largest economy.
The government on Monday said gross domestic product for the quarter grew at a pace of 2.3% compared with the same three-month period a year earlier, and from an annual growth rate of 2.8% in the quarter ending March. That was the slowest rate since the third quarter of 2014, when the economy expanded 1.1%.
