Gareth Leather from Capital Economics stated in a report that the Bank of Thailand's decision to cut interest rates on Wednesday is unlikely to mark the end of the easing cycle. After consecutive contractions in GDP growth in the third quarter, policymakers are concerned about the country's weak economic activity. Recent prospects remain bleak, with weak private consumption and government spending dragging down economic growth next year. Capital Economics maintains that by the end of 2026, the Bank of Thailand will lower the policy rate from the current 1.25% to 0.75%.
