THAILAND – consumption policy: Reportedly, the country’s retail sector agreed to maintain prices for essential consumer goods – including cooking oils – frozen until November 2014.

Reportedly, inflation in Thailand has accelerated in recent months due to higher food and energy prices, increasingly burdening consumers.
