Central bank deputy governor Mathee Supapongse gestures during an interview with Reuters at the Bank of Thailand in Bangkok on Tuesday. The central bank has forecast economic growth of 3.2% for this year and in 2017. With growth on track, inflation returning to the target range and improving economic indicators, further monetary policy easing may not be necessary, said Mr Mathee, who is also on the central bank's Monetary Policy Committee (MPC). The central bank next reviews monetary policy on Nov 9, right after Americans elect their next president. The central bank has instruments to handle any excessive volatility in the baht, Mr Mathee said.
