Sales from July onward were expected to grow further, following the launch of numerous government measures to stimulate the economy and boost domestic tourism, said Jiraphon Kawswat, president and chief executive officer of PTT Oil and Retail Business Plc.
She added that it was too soon to tell how much overall sales would decline this year, as the company was waiting to see what direction the economy takes.
However, the company forecasts that sales for 2020 will come close to matching 2019’s monthly average of 460,000 litres if there is no second wave of Covid-19 infections, she said.
