Thai Chamber of Commerce Highlights Positive Economic Signals, Ready to Work with New Government

The Thai Chamber of Commerce, led by Phot Aramwattananon, reported that the National Economic and Social Development Council (NESDC) showed Q4 2025 GDP growth of 2.5% compared to the same period last year and 1.9% quarter-on-quarter after seasonal adjustment. This is a clear positive signal that the Thai economy can accelerate, especially in the final quarter under Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul's administration. The figures indicate that Thailand's economy will grow approximately 2.4% in 2025, exceeding the original forecast of 2.0-2.2%. This reflects the effectiveness of economic stimulus measures, particularly the close economic policy oversight by Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister Ekniti Nitithanprapas. Key measures included the 'Half-Half Plus' project, investment acceleration through the Board of Investment (BOI), budget disbursement, and investment stimulation. The Chamber believes the positive momentum should be systematically developed, emphasizing regular economic cabinet meetings with the private sector to define strategic directions and make timely policy decisions. Looking ahead to 2026, despite global economic risks, the Chamber remains optimistic about Thailand's economic potential if the government maintains consumption, investment, and budget management efficiency.
