Consumer confidence rose to the highest level in 26 months in January, driven by the economic recovery, a surge in foreign tourist arrivals and the easing of the pandemic.

The University of the Thai Chamber of Commerce (UTCC) reported yesterday the consumer confidence index increased for the eighth straight month in January tallying 51.7, up from 49.7 in December, 47.9 in November, 46.1 in October, 44.6 in September, 43.7 in August, 42.4 in July, 41.6 in June and 40.2 in May.
