  "summary": "Thailand's economic growth is facing mounting challenges, according to Supavud Saicheua, chairman of the National Economic and Social Development Council (NESDC). The country is grappling with a current account deficit, tight fiscal conditions, and uncertainty over trade negotiations with the US, which is limiting the government's ability to drive growth. Despite this, the government still has a limited room for maneuver, with a projected GDP growth of %41–21, down from %52 in the previous year.",
