Thailand Interest Rate Cut
February 25, 2026
The benchmark interest rate at the Bank of Thailand was cut to 1.0% today from 1.25%. This cut had not been anticipated by analysts, since a 25-bp cut had been also done at the prior policy review in December. The new rate level is the lowest since October 2022. The decision to cut was not made unanimously. The vote was 4 in favor to 2 votes of dissent. The majority felt comfortable lowering the rate again after revising when they expect restored in-target sustained inflation of 1-3% until after mid-2027 from an earlier estimate of that happening earlier in the year.
