imageBANGKOK: Thailand's annual headline inflation rate in August may have risen slightly to 2.20 percent with the core rate little changed at 1.80 percent, a Reuters poll showed.

In July, headline inflation was weaker than expected at 2.16 percent after hitting a 14-month high of 2.62 percent in May.

Core inflation, which strips out fresh food and energy prices, may have matched July's figure of 1.81 percent, well inside the central bank's target range of 0.5-3.0 percent.

Inflation in Thailand has relatively been benign, curbed by government price controls and subsidies plus still-subdued domestic demand after long political unrest in Bangkok.

The Commerce Ministry has forecast headline inflation of 2.4 percent for 2014, while the central bank predicts 2.6 percent.
