The industrial confidence index for June has fallen again for the third consecutive month, to the lowest point of 80.7 in 12 months and from 82.3 in May, according to Federation of Thai Industries (FTI) President Suphan Mongkolsuthee.

 

He attributed the steady reduction in confidence over the past three months to the third wave of the COVID-19 pandemic, which started in April. This, he said, has seen a continuing surge of infections, particularly in factories, affecting the production sector.

 

Increasing infections among construction workers also prompted the Centre for COVID-19 Situation Administration (CCSA) to impose restrictive measures for 30 days in Bangkok and its neighbouring provinces, as well as in four southern provinces, with a ban on dine-services at all eateries in those areas.
