Industry authorities are monitoring the negative impact of the world economy on Thailand for the next 1-2 months after the Manufacturing Production Index (MPI) in July fell for the second consecutive month.
Compared with July 2021, during which Thailand had few Covid-19 outbreaks, the MPI in July this year went up by 6.37% year-on-year to 95.71 points, said Industry Minister Suriya Jungrungreangkit, attributing the increase mainly to the reopening of the country.
