Bank of Thailand Press Release on Economic and Monetary Conditions for April 2026
The Bank of Thailand released its April 2026 economic and monetary conditions report, indicating that the national economy softened due to elevated energy costs and geopolitical disruptions. Although merchandise exports and manufacturing output remained resilient, declines in tourism, private consumption, and investment drove headline and core inflation higher while widening the current account deficit. The central bank identified five priority monitoring areas: Middle East conflict developments, economic adaptation by businesses and households, government stimulus effectiveness, potential U.S. trade policy changes, and El Niño weather impacts.
