Thailand is under no pressure to raise interest ​rates, ⁠Vice Finance Minister Santitarn Sathirathai said on ‌Wednesday, adding that the country's economy was ⁠stable.

The weaker baht was not a worry because it was ​driven by external factors, he said.

​His comments ‌come ahead of a Bank ​of ⁠Thailand (BoT) interest rate review later ⁠on Wednesday.

A Reuters poll of economists forecast ⁠rates to be ​held at 1.00%.
