Thai baht strength has limited impact on export: central bank official

[BANGKOK] The strength of the Thai baht is having a limited impact on exports, the central bank's assistant governor, Vachira Aromdee, said on Tuesday.

The baht's appreciation this year of up to 5.0 per cent was in line with regional peers, Ms Vachira said. "The baht's value has had a limited impact on exports and not as much purchasing power in partner countries," she said.
