BANGKOK (Reuters) - Thailand's central bank is monitoring the baht closely, the finance minister said on Wednesday, as the currency hit its lowest level in nearly 16 years.
Finance minister Arkhom Termpittayapaisith told reporters the central bank will ensure the Thai currency's weakness will not impact the economy. The baht was trading at 37.15 per dollar on Wednesday, the weakest since December 2006.
