Thailand’s Auto And E&E Sectors Drove February MPI Improvement Thailand’s manufacturing production index (MPI) fell 1.6% y-o-y in February, from a 3.5% drop the month before. The deceleration in contraction was underpinned by smaller declines in the heavily-weighted electronics & electricals (E&E) and vehicle & parts clusters. In contrast, growth of food & beverage production slowed in February, capping some of the upside. Economist:  Ng Kee Chou  | +603 9280 2179
