Thai September factory output falls 1.28% y-o-y, smaller drop than forecast

[BANGKOK] Thailand's manufacturing production index (MPI) in September had a smaller than expected drop of 1.28 per cent from a year earlier, the industry ministry said on Wednesday, following an easing of coronavirus restrictions.

The reading compared with a forecast for a 3.0 per cent fall in output in a Reuters poll and August's revised 4.71 per cent decline.
