Thailand's headline inflation rate in August rose slightly from the previous month to a 14-year high, in line with the forecast and reinforcing expectations of a further interest rate hike later this month.
The headline consumer price index (CPI) rose 7.86% in August from a year earlier, driven by energy prices and last year's low base, Commerce Ministry data showed on Monday. That compared with a forecast rise of 7.85% in a Reuters poll.
