Thai Factory Output Improves, Led By Stronger Domestic Demand Manufacturing production in Thailand contracted by 5.3% y-o-y in July, picking up from falls of 7.7% and 7.6% in June and May respectively. The index was boosted by growth in the food & beverage, vehicle & parts, and chemicals & products clusters. Meanwhile, an extended slump in the export-oriented electronics & electricals (E&E) sector capped some of the upside. Economist:  Ng Kee Chou  | +603 9280 2179
