Exports recovery to continue on higher global demand Cenbank, govt plan more measures for impacted sectors (Adds detail, asset warehousing, state planning agency’s comment)
BANGKOK, Feb 25 (Reuters) - Thailand’s tourism-reliant economy was clearly affected by a recent COVID-19 outbreak as monthly private consumption and investment declined, making economic recovery more uneven, the central bank said on Thursday.
But the impact of the second wave of infections that emerged in mid-December was less severe than the previous wave and activity should recover now restrictions have eased, Chayawadee Chai-Anant, a senior Bank of Thailand (BOT) director told a briefing.
“The recovery will remain patchy and the government would need to introduce targeted measures to support it,” she said, adding the economy might return to pre-pandemic levels in the third quarter of 2022.

BANGKOK, Feb 3 (Reuters) - Thailand’s central bank left its key interest rate unchanged at a record low of 0.50% on Wednesday, as widely expected, preserving its limited monetary policy room even as the economy confronts risks from the latest wave of coronavirus infections.
The Bank of Thailand’s (BOT) monetary policy committee voted to hold the one-day repurchase rate unchanged for a sixth straight meeting.
Twelve economists in a Reuters poll had expected the BOT to remain on hold after three rate reductions in the first half of 2020. Two analysts saw a 25 basis point cut.
