Thai inflation in August 2025 contracted steeper than expected; full-year forecast revised down to 0.1% (Business Brief No.4190 Full Ed.)

คะแนนเฉลี่ย
  • Thailand’s headline inflation in August 2025 remained negative for the fifth consecutive month at (-)0.79 percent YoY, mainly due to supply-side pressures from falling prices of energy, fresh fruits and vegetables. 
  • Deflation risks persist because of the broad-based decline in prices. Meanwhile, core inflation rose to 0.81 percent YoY in August 2025. Consumers remain concerned about the high cost of living. 
  • KResearch has revised down its 2025 inflation forecast to 0.1 percent from 0.3 percent. Inflation is expected to contract steeper than previously anticipated in the third quarter, but may return to positive territory in the fourth quarter, though with weaker momentum than earlier projected.
