Economic Outlook

The Thai economy is projected to expand by 2.4 percent in 2026 and 2.1 percent in 2027, supported by stronger-than-expected momentum in merchandise exports and private investment associated with the technology and AI cycle. Nevertheless, benefits from these activities remain largely concentrated among businesses and labors in related manufacturing and service sectors. Private consumption continues to be constrained by elevated household debt, fragile labor market conditions and weak purchasing power, particularly among low-income households facing cost-of-living pressures. Meanwhile, the number of foreign tourist arrivals is expected to decline amid higher oil prices. Overall economic growth remains below its potential. At the same time, SMEs continue to face adaptation challenges and intense competition.
