Thailand’s industrial output has turned positive for the first time in nine months, with the automotive sector rebounding after a 21-month slump, said Thai Deputy Finance Minister Paopoom Rojanasakul.

Thailand's industrial output rose for the first time in 19 months in April at 3.43% year on year due to higher export and tourism growth, according to the Southeast Asian country’s Ministry of Industry.

Thailand's industrial output further declined more than expected in December 2022, as a global slowdown hit demand for Thai exports, according to the Ministry of Industry.

Vietnam's index of industrial production (IIP) in February rose by 8.5 percent year-on-year, marking the fourth consecutive monthly increase, according to the Ministry of Industry and Trade (MoIT).

Vietnam’s industrial production index (IPI) in January rose by 2.4 percent year-on-year, the General Statistics Office (GSO) reported.
