Thailand’s headline consumer price index (CPI) in December dropped a less than expected 0.27% from a year earlier, the commerce ministry said on Tuesday.
That compared with the forecast for a 0.40% fall in a Reuters poll and followed November’s 0.41% decline.
The core CPI index rose 0.19% from a year earlier, compared with a forecast of a 0.17% rise.
In 2020, the headline CPI fell 0.85% while the core CPI rose 0.29%.
