House and condo prices in greater Bangkok rise in past two quarters

13 Sept 18:23 Key points summarised by AI

Greater Bangkok's new house and condominium prices have consistently risen over the last two quarters.
This price surge is primarily driven by escalating land prices, increased construction material costs, and higher labor expenses.
Single houses, townhouses, and new condominium units in Bangkok show significant year-on-year price index increases.
Conversely, new condominium prices in Bangkok's neighboring provinces have declined for three consecutive quarters, largely due to older stock and developer discounts.

European protests could raise costs for Thai exporters

Thai exporters are advised to closely monitor developments, explore alternative markets (ASEAN, South Asia, Middle East), and adjust shipping routes to reduce dependence on Europe and mitigate potential risks.
