Economic Decoupling (2): Statistics

Last time, I mentioned Economic Decoupling, which suggests that Thailand’s economic growth does not necessarily depend on the US economy. In this article I will point to some statistics that corroborate this theory.

In this article, I will present my perspective on these issues.
