I've noticed rising prices at street level already.

Supermarkets are targeting certain goods to hike up the price.

This was bound to happen post pandemic, now all the big banks and that hand full of people (no names mentioned) at the very top have to do, is sit back and watch those interest rates rise to make more bacon.

Does Thailand issue a CPI figure like in the West? The UK is a joke saying that inflation went DOWN in September to only 3.1%.

 

Just checked Thailand does have a CPI, it was 1.6% in September ha ha.

Nice, about a year ago you could have oil for free and now no one can t afford.

The country i live in, cant call it my country, has the highest price in the world for petrol and most of it is tax.

And even gas prices rises as corona cases. They "forgot" to fill up reserves for winter when prices were lower.

And again most of the price is tax. They are thinking of lowering tax, ha, first see and then believe.

There is something rotten in Denmark, however not only Denmark.
