Thailand's annual headline inflation rate in April likely slowed slightly from the previous month, but stayed inside the central bank's target range for a second straight month, a Reuters poll showed.
The median forecast of 10 economists was for the headline consumer price index (CPI) to rise 1.20% in April after March's 1.24% increase.
The Bank of Thailand (BoT) has forecast 2019 headline inflation of 1.0%, against its 1-4% target range.
The core inflation rate, which strips out energy and fresh food prices, was seen at 0.60% in April, according to the poll. It was 0.58% in March.
The poll showed that Thailand's manufacturing production index in March probably contracted 2.7% from a year earlier, after dropping 1.6% in February.
The central bank has left its policy interest rate at 1.75% since tightening in December for the first time since 2011. It next reviews monetary policy on May 8.
Earlier this month, BoT Governor Veerathai Santiprabhob said low inflation was not a concern and the central bank would focus more on growth and risks to financial stability.
