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.
