Thai to look at baht strength

Thailand's finance minister said he wanted to see more stability in the baht, which has risen strongly this year, and would be talking to the central bank about possible measures, but he ruled out capital controls.

Kittirat Na Ranong told reporters Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra had instructed him to speak to the Bank of Thailand and its monetary policy committee as well as outside economists to examine the issue.
