Consumer index continues to dip
Consumer sentiment keeps falling, with the deadly virus outbreak adding to key concerns in addition to the delayed fiscal 2020 budget, the domestic economic slowdown and political instability.
The University of the Thai Chamber of Commerce (UTCC) on Wednesday reported the consumer confidence index dropped to 67.3 in January from 68.3 in December, 69.1 in November and 70.7 in October. It was the 11th straight monthly drop and the lowest level since May 2014.
