MPC not preoccupied with inflation
THE NATION February 4, 2015 1:00 am
THE Bank of Thailand's Monetary Policy Committee would not cut the policy rate just to fight negative inflation, since it's a temporary factor.
"The MPC realises it will take about four to six quarters for monetary policy to take full effect on the economy and inflation," assistant governor Mathee Supapongse said yesterday.
"Monetary policymaking will pay more attention to inflation in the next one to two years than current inflation, and more on pressure from demand on prices of products and services rather than price changes of some products," he said.
In January, inflation sank to minus 0.41 per cent. Headline inflation may stay in negative territory until next quarter if the global oil price continues its descent, the MPC said in its January 28 meeting, according to Mathee.
The oil price is expected to go higher and level out, so it's not necessary for the MPC to change its inflation-targeting framework.
"The MPC sees that the current easy monetary policy helps promote the economic recovery consistently and helps prompt headline inflation to turn to the target by the end of this year," he said.
The 2015 inflation framework pegs headline inflation at 2.5 per cent plus or minus 1.5 percentage point.
Letter to Sommai
Prasarn Trairatvorakul, the governor of the central bank and chairman of the MPC, has sent Finance Minister Sommai Phasee a letter explaining January's negative inflation figure, measures to tackle the inflation problem and expected period for inflation to move into the target range.
According to the letter, the MPC does not see any sign of deflation and that does not affect the country's financial stability. Headline inflation is expected to turn positive in the third quarter and stay at the lower end of the inflation target framework in the fourth quarter after the global oil price rises as a result of a decline in global oil supply.
January's negative inflation figure may benefit the economy. Prices of consumer products other than energy tend to rise normally, reflecting positive core inflation.
That is in line with the MPC's estimate of a rise in domestic demand this year and next year.
Drops in oil prices may be positive for the economy as Thailand is a net importer of oil and that helps lower costs of production and transportation.
According to the consensus of economists last month, inflation is forecast to stay at 2.5 per cent for the next six quarters, despite the downtrend of inflation expectations in the short term.
