Consumer confidence picked up for a fourth straight month in September, hitting an eight-month high, helped by a reduction in the Covid-19 infection rate and improved business activity following the relaxation of pandemic-era restrictions.
The University of the Thai Chamber of Commerce (UTCC) on Wednesday reported that the consumer confidence index rose to 44.6 in September from 43.7 in August. It stood at 42.4 in July, 41.6 in June, 40.2 in May, 40.7 in April, 42 in March, 43.3 in February and 44.8 in January.
