BANGKOK (Reuters) – Thailand’s economy recovery remains intact but slow, so monetary policy tightening should be gradual to ensure a smooth recovery while fighting surging inflation, the central bank chief said on Saturday.
Southeast Asia’s second-largest economy is expected to return to its pre-pandemic growth rates late this year or early next, Sethaput Suthiwartnarueput told reporters.
