Press Release on the Economic and Monetary Conditions for May 2026

The Bank of Thailand reported that the Thai economy remained broadly stable in May 2026, driven by increased tourism receipts and a slight improvement in domestic demand. While manufacturing production declined in line with weaker merchandise exports, headline inflation stayed elevated but stable as core inflation increased marginally due to passed-through input costs. The central bank identified key risks to monitor, including elevated living costs, geopolitical tensions, U.S. trade policy impacts, and El Niño developments.
