BANGKOK : Thailand's headline consumer price index (CPI) rose 0.83 per cent in October from a year earlier, the commerce ministry said on Wednesday, remaining below the central bank's target range for inflation of 1 per cent to 3 per cent.

The figure compared with a forecast increase of 0.94 per cent in a Reuters poll, and an annual inflation rate of 0.61 per cent in September.

The core CPI, which excludes volatile food and energy prices, was up 0.77 per cent on the year, versus a forecast rise of 0.79 per cent.
