คะแนนเฉลี่ย
  • KResearch expects the Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) to maintain the policy rate at 1.00 percent at its meeting on August 26, 2026, as inflationary pressures have eased while the economy remains fragile and requires continued policy support.
  • The MPC is expected to keep the policy rate unchanged at 1.00 percent for the rest of 2026, as this level remains appropriate for supporting Thailand’s economic recovery amid moderating inflation. Headline inflation is projected to average 1.8 percent in 2026, remaining within the Bank of Thailand’s target range.
  • ​Thailand’s economic recovery remains K-shaped and vulnerable to external headwinds. As such, the MPC is likely to maintain a low policy rate while relying on targeted measures to support the recovery.
