BANGKOK (Reuters) - Thailand's headline consumer price index (CPI) rose 0.35% in August from a year earlier, after the previous month's annual increase of 0.83%, the commerce ministry said on Thursday.
The figure was compared with a forecast rise of 0.40% in a Reuters poll, and was below the central bank's target range of 1% to 3%.
The core CPI, which excludes volatile food and energy prices, was up 0.62% in August from a year earlier.
