BANGKOK (Reuters) – Thailand’s central bank will ensure the economic recovery is not disrupted, its chief Sethaput Suthiwartnarueput said on Thursday in an interview with local TV station PPTV.
The chances of another round of high inflation were low due to low employment as a result of a weak recovery in tourism, with just 6 million arrivals expected this year, he said.
Headline inflation hit a 13-year high of 5.28% in February, breaching the central bank’s target range of 1-3%.
