FTI warns of supply side disruption
Soaring Covid-19 infections spreading into the industrial sector could lead to scarcity of domestic goods, hurting consumers already smarting from weaker purchasing power, warns the Federation of Thai Industries (FTI).
The FTI raised the alarm after earlier warning about the impact on the export sector if the virus continues to cause more infections among factory workers.
If infection rates, now hovering around 14,000 new cases a day, and the emergence of more Covid-19 clusters in factories continue until mid-August, Thailand can hardly avoid the impact of “supply side disruptions”, said FTI vice-chairman Kriengkrai Thiennukul.
