Without that, the economy will lose 26.6 billion baht, or 0.25% of GDP, with investment down 0.49% and exports down 0.19%, she said in a statement, citing the ministry’s study on CPTPP membership. The study will be presented to the cabinet to decide whether Thailand will join the pact, Auramon said.

Those opposed to membership include Move Forward opposition partly leader Pita Limjaroenrat, who has said it would have a negative impact on the economy.
