The S&P Global Thailand Manufacturing PMI was at 50.7 in June 2022, down from 51.9 in May and pointing to the lowest reading since last December. Output rose the least in five months, buying activity growth slipped sharply from the survey peak hit in May, and new export orders expanded marginally. At the same time, new orders shrank the most since May 2021; and employment continued to fall, on cost-saving efforts. Further, the rate of backlog depletion reached its sharpest since May 2021, while the accumulation of finished goods was among the highest on record. Turning to prices, input cost rose further, due to increases in cost of fuel, transport, and raw material. Firms reported making their own price adjustments in line with higher input costs, leading to further steep output price inflation. Finally, confidence strengthened to the second strongest across the series history, with the figure being the highest since January 2016, on hopes for future economic recovery. source: Markit Economics
