Thailand's 'bad' economy must grow to get investment, PM Srettha says

BANGKOK -- Thai Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin said his country's economy was in a poor condition, adding that he would not resign if his flagship stimulus policy fails on legislative or judicial grounds.

"It's bad now, if you look at third-quarter GDP growth of 1.5%. You can't say it has to be negative to be bad," Srettha told Nikkei Asia in an exclusive interview at Government House in Bangkok on Tuesday.
