The Monetary Policy Committee yesterday maintained the policy rate at 1.25 per cent.
Bank of Thailand (BOT) Assistant Governor Paiboon Kittisrikangwan said the policy rate is kept unchanged on views that there are many risk factors to the Thai economy, particularly political instability and the Map Ta Phut crisis. Meanwhile, the global economy also poses uncertain recovery pace.
The rate has been kept this low since May 20, 2009.
