Thai consumer confidence down for second straight month in November

It dropped 3.1% YoY to 72.3.

Thai consumer confidence slid again in November, amidst slow domestic and global economic recoveries and low commodity prices.

Maybank KimEng notes that consumer confidence in Nov fell 3.1% YoY and 1.1% MoM to 72.3. CCI for willingness to buy new cars has the highest percentage of contraction followed by willingness to buy new houses signaling the still weak consumption trend.

The confidence index on job, income & economic situation also contracted.

"Flooding in the southern region, which has affected crop production & tourism as well as low commodity prices, is perceived have negative impact on purchasing power," said MayBank KimEng.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.


If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
