BANGKOK, April 28 (Reuters) - Thailand's manufacturing production index (MPI) in March contracted 4.56% from a year earlier, as a global economic slowdown hurt exports, the industry ministry said on Friday. The figure compared with a forecast in a Reuters poll for a fall of 3.65%, and came after February's revised 2.38% year-on-year decline.
