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.
