[BANGKOK] Thailand’s central bank estimated that the economy grew 2.2 per cent in 2025, but said momentum was expected to moderate in 2026 and 2027, according to the minutes from its latest policy meeting published on Monday.
The committee said monetary policy could be more accommodative as the economy showed clearer signs of slowdown, amid heightened risks.
It said headline inflation was expected to remain subdued, largely due to supply-side factors.
Policymakers were also concerned about the baht’s appreciation and its impact on exporters, especially small and medium-sized firms, and warned that the economy continued to face prolonged cyclical pressures, structural challenges and uncertainties. REUTERS
