Thai Economy Would Continue to Grow but with Headwinds

Thai economy would continue to recover in 2022 but recovery would still remain fragile and uneven, according to central bank’s last policy meeting released on Wednesday.

While upside inflationary risks had increased and headline inflation could exceed the upper side of the target range of 3% in early 2022, the risks of persistent increases in inflation remained low, the minutes said.

On Feb 9, the Bank of Thailand’s monetary policy committee unanimously voted to leave the benchmark interest rate at a record low for a 14th straight meeting, maintaining support for a fragile economy.
