BoT maintains 1-day repo rate at 1.00% through 2026 and 2027
Thailand’s central bank is expected to keep interest rates unchanged due to supply-led inflation. The Consumer Price Index data confirms a cost-push inflation backdrop.
The authorities’ formal 2026 inflation forecast remains at 1.5%–2.5%, with a 2.0% midpoint. The BoT’s official view is more hawkish on the near-term headline path, expecting headline CPI at 2.9% in 2026.
The bank maintains its headline CPI forecasts at 1.4% for 2026 and 1.2% for 2027, while monitoring energy costs and FX pass-through.
