CPI Improved In January But Core Inflation Remained Weak Thailand’s headline consumer prices (CPI) decreased 0.5% y-o-y in January, moderating from its 0.9% fall the month before. Price deflation of non-food & beverage items slowed, boosted by milder declines in the cost of utilities and transport & communications items. Core CPI growth softened to 0.6% y-o-y in January, after increasing 0.7% the month before. Economist:  Ng Kee Chou  | +603 9280 2179
