Thailand inflation softer than expected

The BOT however is not likely to further cut its interest rate.

OCBC Treasury Research noted:

Despite inflation coming in softer than expected, we don’t expect the BOT to further cut its interest rate for the rest of the year, as the central bank is likely to sustain an underlying strong stance on inflationary pressures going forward.

As discussed previously, we think that inflation has bottomed out in Thailand and the trend going forward should be biased towards the upside. Core inflation should return to the 2.5-3 percent territory next year, making it highly likely that the central bank will not trigger any more rate cuts in the coming sessions.

Indeed, in 2013, we look for the BOT to unwind the string of rate cuts it has delivered so far this year.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
