BANGKOK, Oct 27 (Reuters) - Thailand's manufacturing production index (MPI) in September had a smaller than expected drop of 1.28% from a year earlier, the industry ministry said on Wednesday, following an easing of coronavirus restrictions.
The reading compared with a forecast for a 3.0% fall in output in a Reuters poll and August's revised 4.71% decline. (Reporting by Orathai Sriring, Kitiphong Thaichareon and Satawasin Staporncharnchai; Editing by Martin Petty)
