BoT to stay on the sidelines, Korea inflation concerns

Despite above-target inflation, we expect the Bank of Thailand to leave interest rates unchanged, not only at its meeting on Wednesday, but throughout 2022, as it prioritises supporting the economic recovery. Meanwhile, inflation is becoming a growing concern in Korea, amid further signs that underlying price pressures are starting to build. We expect more tightening by the Bank of Korea over the coming months.
