NOTES: Thai Baht converted to U.S. Dollars at a rate of 30.68 Baht per Dollar. Values are stocks as of the time of the survey, which for the CPC is between the beginning of September and the end of October. TTMS entries are at the household level. CPC entries are either at the household level or converted to a household level by multiplying consumer values by 2.045. CPC household income is originally reported in buckets; precise estimates are imputed with the help of SCF data. A more detailed appendix and the Stata programs used to construct the tables are available at https://www.bostonfed.org/about-the-boston-fed/business-areas/consumer-payments-research-center.aspx.
