The consumer confidence index continued to drop for the
sixth consecutive month in June upon concern over the fuel price rise and a
spate of violence in the southern provinces, according to a top economic
forecaster. Thanawat Polvichai, director of the University of Chamber of
Commerce’s Economic and Business Forecasting Center, disclosed that the
confidence indices on the overall economy, employment opportunities, and
future incomes declined to 98, 93.5, and 110 respectively from the previous
month. It resulted in the consumer confidence index falling to 100.6 in June
from 102.5 in May.
