BANGKOK (Reuters) – Thai consumer confidence dropped in January for the first time in five months, hurt by a new coronavius outbreak, a slow economic recovery and the high prices of goods, a survey showed on Thursday.
The consumer index of the University of the Thai Chamber of Commerce fell to 44.8 in January from 46.2 in December.
