BANGKOK: Thailand's central bank left its key interest rate unchanged for a fifth straight meeting on Wednesday, as widely expected, despite a sluggish economy and fiscal policy uncertainty after a court dismissed the prime minister.

The Bank of Thailand's (BOT) monetary policy committee voted 6-1 to hold the one-day repurchase rate at 2.50%, the highest in more than a decade.
