Persistent Weakness In E&E Output Drags On Manufacturing Production Manufacturing production in Thailand slumped 4.2% y-o-y on a seasonally adjusted basis in October, from a revised fall of 0.4% in the month before. The acceleration in decline was driven by a substantial decrease in electronics & electricals (E&E) output and made worse by a slowdown in refined petroleum production growth. However, a pickup in factory activities in automobile and furniture clusters helped cushion some of the downside. Economist:  Ng Kee Chou  | +603 9280 2179
