The manufacturing sector in Thailand continued to expand in December, and at a faster rate, the latest survey from market Economics revealed on Monday with a manufacturing PMI score of 50.8.
That's up from 50.4 in November, and it moves further above the boom-or-bust line of 50 that separates expansion from contraction.
Individually, production and new orders both climbed for the fifth straight month, while input inflation accelerated to a 15-month high.
Last month also saw the weakest reduction in employment since last January.
