In addition, the Bank of Thailand (BoT) is expected to leave its policy rate unchanged at 1.50 percent at its monetary policy meeting scheduled to be held on September 19 with an accommodative monetary policy stance. The BoT’s real policy rate will turn positive as Thailand’s CPI inflation is bound to ease moderately starting from September on the back of favourable base effect, the report added.
