BANGKOK (Xinhua): Thailand's business sentiment held steady in November as falling confidence in the manufacturing sector offset a slight rise in non-manufacturing, data released by the central bank showed on Friday.

According to the Bank of Thailand (BOT), the South-East Asian country's business sentiment index (BSI) remained unchanged at 49.0 last month compared to October, as less concern about manufacturing costs countered a drop in confidence over employment, total order books, and performance.
