# Baht seen little stronger by year-end as exports, tourism weaken

> A Bloomberg survey of analysts expects the baht to appreciate only about 1% against the dollar by year-end, roughly half the typical rise for the final two months. Weak exports, sluggish Chinese tourism and expectations of further Bank of Thailand rate cuts are cited as the main reasons. The Tourism Authority of Thailand expects foreign arrivals to fall about 6% this year.
