BANGKOK: Thailand's financial system has become more vulnerable due to negative shocks from the latest coronavirus outbreak and there remained significant risks to the economy, the central bank's minutes of its last meeting showed on Wednesday.

The Southeast Asian country's latest COVID-19 outbreak, its biggest so far, has seen infections more than triple and deaths increase six fold since it started in April, following a year of success in containing earlier outbreaks.
