泰国商会大学的消费者信心指数从上月的63.0降至2024年4月的62.1。这是消费者士气连续第二个月下降，也是自去年12月以来的最低水平，因为人们担心全球经济放缓、能源价格上涨以及中东持续冲突。然而，该大学表示，在2024年下半年出台刺激增长的预算措施后，一些信心可能会恢复。

The University of the Thai Chamber of Commerce’s consumer confidence index decreased to 62.1 in April 2024 from 63.0 in the previous month. It was the second straight month of decline in consumer morale and the lowest level since last December, amid concerns about a global economic slowdown, rising energy prices, and an ongoing conflict in the Middle East. However, the university said some confidence could be restored after budget measures to stimulate growth are introduced in the second half of 2024.

泰国的商业信心指数从上月的49.6降至2024年4月的47.3。这是自2022年1月以来的最低读数，因为业绩（49.1对3月的53.9）、产量（48.6对53.6）和整体订单（45.3对49.9）的情绪恶化。另一方面，就业评估有所改善（51.6对50.5）。与此同时，三个月预期商业信心指数从三月份的51.9升至52.4。

The business confidence indicator in Thailand fell to 47.3 in April 2024 from 49.6 in the previous month. It was the lowest reading since January 2022, as sentiments deteriorated for performance (49.1 vs 53.9 in March), production (48.6 vs 53.6), and overall order books (45.3 vs 49.9). On the other hand, assessments for employment improved (51.6 vs 50.5). Meanwhile, the three-month expected business sentiment index rose to 52.4 from 51.9 in March.

2024年4月，泰国消费者价格同比上涨0.19%，较上月下跌0.47%有所反弹。这是自去年9月以来消费者价格的首次上涨，也是八个月来的最高值。与此同时，核心通胀率为0.37%，与上月持平，为2021年12月以来的最低水平。

The consumer prices in Thailand increased 0.19% year-on-year in April 2024, rebounding from a 0.47% fall in the previous month.

Meanwhile, the core inflation rate stood at 0.37%, unchanged from the previous month, marking the lowest rate since December 2021.

标普全球泰国制造业采购经理人指数从上月的49.1降至2024年4月的48.6，这表明工厂活动连续第九个月收缩。新订单连续第10个月下降，导致产量再次下降，采购活动出现疫情以来的最大降幅。此外，新的出口订单出现了三年多来最大的萎缩。与此同时，就业率在前九个月下降后趋于稳定。积压工作连续第10个月减少，尽管是这一序列中最慢的一个月。在速度较慢的运输网络上，交货时间五个月来首次延长。在成本方面，投入价格和产出成本都低于长期平均水平。虽然投入成本基本没有变化，但产出价格的上涨速度是两年半以来第二慢的。展望未来，市场情绪从3月份的10个月高点有所软化，但仍高于疫情前的趋势，因为公司预计将赢得新客户。

The S&P Global Thailand Manufacturing PMI was down to 48.6 in April 2024 from 49.1 a month earlier, pointing to the ninth straight month of contraction in factory activity. New orders fell for the 10th month, resulting in a renewed drop in output and the steepest fall in purchasing activity since the pandemic. Further, new export orders shrank the most in over three years. At the same time, employment stabilized after declining in the prior nine months. Backlogs of work decreased for the 10th month, albeit at one of the weakest rates over this sequence. Delivery times were longer for the first time in five months, on slower transport networks. On the cost front, both input prices and output costs were below their long-run averages. While input costs were broadly unchanged, output prices rose at the second-weakest pace in over 2-1/2 years. Looking ahead, sentiment softened from March's 10-month high but remained above the pre-pandemic trend as companies expected to win new customers.
