-- 根據標普全球週二發布的數據，泰國製造業4月持續擴張，但成長放緩，成本上升和需求成長動能減弱抑制了製造業活動。 標普全球泰國製造業採購經理人指數（PMI）從3月的54.1降至4月的52.7，與去年7月以來的最低水準持平，但連續第12個月維持在50榮枯線以上。 新訂單和產出均有所成長，但成長放緩。企業表示，購買力下降抑制了需求，導致銷售成長創八個月以來新低。 積壓訂單增速加快，而就業人數在經歷了前兩個月的輕微下降後基本保持不變。 採購活動持續成長，但供應商交貨時間延長至三年多來的最大幅度，反映出與中東衝突相關的供應鏈中斷。 成本壓力加劇，受石油、燃料和原物料價格上漲的推動，投入價格以三年半以來最快的速度上漲。 標普表示，商業信心在3月跌至四年半以來的最低點後，4月份有所回升，但由於對價格上漲和需求風險的擔憂，信心依然疲軟。
