BANGKOK (Reuters) - Thailand's headline consumer price index (CPI) in February rose 0.74% from a year earlier, slowing from the previous month and below expectations, commerce ministry data showed on Thursday.

 

A Reuters poll had forecast the headline CPI would rise 0.77% year-on-year in February after January's 1.05% increase.

 

The headline reading was below the Bank of Thailand's 1%-3% target range.

 

The annual core inflation rate was 0.58% in February, higher than a forecast of 0.50%, and above 0.47% in January.

 

In the January to February period, headline inflation was 0.89% and core inflation was 0.53%.

 

The commerce ministry has forecast headline inflation of between 0.4% and 1.2% for 2020.

That's a wide enough range for even the worst charlatans, sorry, economists, accountants and or analysts to get it wrong.
