Thai inflation higher than expected

Thailand’s headline inflation rate rose more than expected in September but that was partly due to a low base last year, so the central bank is unlikely to change its stance of leaving policy on hold for now as risks to economic growth remain high.

Annual inflation was at 3.38 per cent in September, its highest level since March, compared with 2.69 per cent in August and against the median forecast of 3.2 per cent by economists in a Reuters poll.
