Bank of Thailand: Governor Sethaput prepared to adjust policies for stability.

The Bank of Thailand is prepared to adjust monetary policy for stability amidst growing concerns about the financial market’s impact on the economy. Governor Sethaput Suthiwartnarueput emphasized that tight liquidity could prompt interest rate changes based on economic outlook, inflation, and financial stability. The central bank recently kept its interest rate unchanged as a new prime minister took office. Paetongtarn Shinawatra’s election led to a stock market boost, although challenges persist, as the central bank and government seek to collaborate effectively on economic policies. Thaksin Shinawatra’s influence on his daughter, the new prime minister, may shape future economic decisions, especially regarding the relationship between fiscal and monetary policies. The central bank maintains its independence, despite criticisms from policymakers, emphasizing the need for coordinated efforts to tackle economic challenges. Ongoing discussions between the government and central bank will be vital in addressing Thailand’s economic issues.
