Thailand's economy emerged from recession in the second quarter as increased government spending offset a slump in manufacturing and
agriculture.
The state planning agency says Monday that gross domestic product expanded 2.3 percent from the first quarter in seasonally adjusted terms. GDP had shrunk quarter-on-quarter the previous two quarters.
The agency expects the economy, Southeast Asia's second-largest, to shrink between 3 percent and 3.5 percent in 2009 compared with 2008.
