BANGKOK, Oct 24 (Reuters) - Thailand's current inflation target range of 1% to 3% has "served pretty well" and should not be changed, a deputy central bank governor told Reuters on Thursday, as the government pushes for a higher price target to boost economic activity.
Inflation is low and well anchored, and there is no risk of deflation, while the economy is converging to trend growth, Bank of Thailand (BOT) Deputy Governor Piti Disyatat said in an interview.
