What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Global oil prices have been rising due to the ongoing Middle East conflict. In September, Thailand's inflation accelerated for the second consecutive month, reaching 2.82 per cent in the consumer price index compared to a year earlier, according to Commerce Ministry data. This increase was driven by higher oil and processed food prices, reflecting elevated raw material costs and the geopolitical situation in the Middle East.
