BANGKOK, Feb 6 (Reuters) - Thailand's headline consumer
price index (CPI) rose 5.02% in January from a year earlier,
less than analyst forecasts, commerce ministry data showed on
Monday.
The reading compared with a forecast for a 5.12% rise in
January in a Reuters poll and followed December's 5.89%
increase. The core CPI index was up 3.04% in January from a year
ago, versus a forecast rise of 3.10%.
