What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

The Federation of Thai Industries reported that Thailand's industrial confidence weakened in October. The industrial sentiment index fell to 89.9 from 90.7 in September, as total orders, sales, production output, and operating performance all declined. This decline was attributed to production disruptions caused by flooding and mounting cost pressures, including a 6.6 percent rise in diesel prices and a 9.3 percent climb in liquefied natural gas prices.

The weakened confidence reflects increased production and transport costs across the country. Furthermore, contracting credit to small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) is straining working capital, although demand for construction materials and electrical appliances saw a boost from flood relief measures.
