REUTERS/Chaiwat Subprasom BANGKOK (Reuters) - Thailand's headline consumer price index (CPI) declined by 3.44% in May from a year earlier, the biggest contraction in nearly 11 years and more than expected, commerce ministry data showed on Thursday. The reading compared with a forecast decline of 2.95% in a Reuters poll, and with April's 2.99% fall. The annual core inflation rate was 0.01%, compared with a forecast of 0.35%, and April's 0.41%.

Thai business nounce = Less customers, then put up the prices by 20%. Less footfall, but the same money ringing through the cash registers. Market Traders putting up prices " because Vegetable costs have gone up " CPI down ???? Stop pulling my chain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
