Trade and Economic Indices for August 2024

               Mr. Poonpong Naiyanapakorn, the Director General of the Trade Policy and Strategy Office, revealed that the Consumer Price Index (CPI) in August 2024 was 108.79. Comparing to August 2023 (108.41), the headline inflation increased at a slower rate by 0.35% (YoY), mainly due to rising food prices, especially fresh vegetables and fresh fruits as flooding affected some agricultural areas and decreased crop yields. Moreover, the prices of rice, glutinous rice, and ready-to-eat meals such as prepared food, rice and curry, and cooked to order dish also increased. Other goods and services did not have a significant impact on inflation.
