Weak Baht News Today

Thailand’s rice exports are likely to exceed 8 million tonnes this year as flooding caused by Typhoon Noru had little impact and a weak baht has helped overseas sales, President of the Thai Rice Exporters Association (TREA) Chookiat Ophaswongse has said.

Thailand's central bank is closely monitoring the baht weakness but there has been no big concern about it yet, the finance minister said on Monday, as the currency hit its lowest in 16 years against the dollar.
