Thailand Inflation Past Its Peak

Thai inflation past peak

THAILAND: Thailand inflation appears to have passed its peak as easing global oil prices and lower production costs moderated headline inflation in June 2026. However, elevated prices for ready-made meals and public transport continue to keep household living costs high, with core inflation rising despite softer energy prices. Economists believe inflationary pressures will remain within the government's 1.5–2.5% target range, supported by weaker domestic demand and an economy that has yet to fully recover. As inflation stabilizes and cost-push pressures ease, the Bank of Thailand is widely expected to keep its policy interest rate unchanged at 1% through the remainder of 2026 to support economic growth.
