Prolonged Ukraine war to see Thai inflation at 6.3%, a stalled economy and a possible downgrade

by Joseph O' Connor

 

prolonged-ukraine-war-to-see-thai-inflation-at-over-6-per-cent.jpg

Senior Vice President at Siam Commercial Bank, Yanyong Thaicharoen, this week, revealed that the bank’s Economic Intelligence Centre predicts inflation in Thailand to reach 6.3% this year if the war in Ukraine is prolonged, driven by heightened crude oil prices. The bank predicts the economy to grow by 2.7% although economic uncertainty is growing. Downside risks are also manifesting with a dip in consumer expenditure and private investment in February as well as a flight of capital from the kingdom’s bond market.
