BANGKOK (Reuters) – Thai consumer confidence rose for a second straight month in July, reaching a five-month high, boosted by improved economic activity following an easing of COVID-19 curbs, but high costs of living remained a concern, a survey showed on Thursday.
The consumer index of the University of the Thai Chamber of Commerce increased to 42.4 in July from 41.6 in the previous month.
