The Bank of Thailand lowered its key interest rate by 25 bps to 1.75% during its April 2025 meeting, aiming to support the economy amid the impact of U.S. tariffs. The central bank's monetary policy committee voted 5-2 to reduce the one-day repurchase rate, following a similar reduction at the previous meeting in February. The move was in line with expectations and brought borrowing costs to their lowest level since April 2023, amid a slowdown in inflation. Thailand’s annual inflation rate eased to 0.84% in March 2025, falling below the central bank’s target range of 1% to 3%. Thailand’s GDP grew by 3.2% yoy in Q4 of 2024, below the 3.9% market forecast. The central bank expects the GDP to grow by around 2% in 2025 if trade negotiations remain prolonged and U.S. tariffs stay near current levels. However, if trade tensions escalate and tariffs rise further, GDP growth is projected to slow to approximately 1.3% this year. Headline inflation is expected to decline below the target range.
