Thailand's Manufacturing Production Index (MPI) fell by 3.71% year-on-year in October as some factories shut down for maintenance, but the Industry Ministry remains optimistic about the growth of the full-year MPI.
Major maintenance of petrochemical and plastic bead production facilities lowered the October index to 93.89 points, down from 97.89 points in September, according to the Office of Industrial Economics (OIE).
