Thailand maintains inflation target of 1-4% for next year

Bangkok

THAILAND'S central bank will maintain its current headline inflation target of 1-4 per cent next year to guide its monetary policy, with a wide range giving it leeway to manoeuvre.

The band, the same target range used for this year, was approved by the government on Tuesday, Finance Minister Apisak Tantivorawong told reporters after a weekly cabinet meeting.
