During 2024, Thailand's economy gradually recovered, driven by expansion of the exportation and tourism sectors, coupled with the easing of monetary policy and lower inflation in the Kingdom and trading partners. Private consumption was also fostered by the government’s economic stimulus packages. However overall investment was pressured by the delay in the disbursement of the 2024 budget.
In 2025, Thailand's economy is expected to continue to expand, mainly driven by private consumption which is boosted by the government's economic stimulus packages. Public investment is likely to expand well, which will help igniting private investment to improve in the same direction. The exportation and tourism sectors will continue to grow in line with the recovery of the global economy. However, the Thai economy still faces several risk factors: including trade tensions between the United States and China, the slowdown in the Chinese economy, ongoing geopolitical issues, the structure of Thai exports concentrated in low-technology products, and persistently high household debt levels. These factors may be obstacles to an overall economic recovery.
