Thailand

Economic Highlights




Thailand’s headline consumer prices fell for the second consecutive month in February by 0.5% y-o-y, after dropping by 0.4% in January and compared with +0.6% in December, as lower energy prices in recent months translated to lower prices of food & beverages. This was made worse by soft domestic demand. The core inflation rate, which excludes 138 items from the raw food and energy segments, moderated to 1.4% y-o-y in February, from +1.6% in January and compared to +1.7% in December.
