Thai Baht Should Weaken, Interest Rates Fall, Kittiratt Says

March 22 (Bloomberg) -- Thailand’s government would like to
see lower interest rates and a weaker currency to help exporters
cope with higher energy costs, Finance Minister Kittiratt Na-
Ranong said.
Thai-based companies faced difficulties shipping goods when
the baht approached a level of 30 per dollar, he said in an
interview with Bloomberg Television today in Hong Kong. Exports
fell more than expected in January as factories struggled to
resume production after the worst flooding in almost 70 years
and as global demand weakened.
“Those companies have been adjusting themselves and
improved their efficiency in order to barely survive,”
Kittiratt said. “So the range of 32 to 34 would be very good.”
The Bank of Thailand yesterday joined central banks from
Australia to South Korea in keeping interest rates unchanged as
higher energy costs boosted inflation risks. Kittiratt’s
comments add to pressure for policy easing in Thailand, where
exports and manufacturing have contracted in the aftermath of
flooding last year that disrupted global supply chains.
“Thailand is similar to other countries suffering from
cost-push inflation because of higher energy costs that come out
of the tension in the Middle East,” he said. “If the central
bank would agree to let the interest rate down a little bit
further, that would be good.”
The baht declined 0.1 percent to 30.77 per dollar as of
2:44 p.m. in Bangkok, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
It has strengthened about 2.5 percent this year, making it the
third-biggest gainer in Southeast Asia after the Malaysian
ringgit and the Singapore dollar.
“I don’t think the BOT will yield to government
pressure,” Frances Cheung, a strategist at Credit Agricole CIB
in Hong Kong, said by phone, referring to the Bank of Thailand.
“They have their own mandates and I don’t think the BOT will
just target any level for the baht. As you can see from the
BOT’s tone, they are primarily focusing on inflation and
economic activity.”
