Inflation rose to 0.83% YoY in October 2024 and is expected to reach 1.2% YoY in 4Q24
  • Thailand’s headline inflation accelerated to 0.83 percent YoY in October 2024, in line with expectations. This uptick was primarily driven by higher energy prices, including electricity and retail diesel, compared to the figures seen in October 2023, coupled with rising prices of some fresh vegetables and fruits.
  • For the rest of 2024, domestic headline inflation is expected to rise further, driving an average inflation rate to1.2 percent YoY in 4Q24. This is attributed to the following factors: 1) the low base of electricity and retail diesel prices in 4Q23; 2) persistently high prices of fresh vegetables and fruits; and 3) anticipated price hikes for goods and services during the high tourism season.
  • KResearch maintains its projection for full-year 2024 headline inflation at 0.5 percent YoY.
