FX.co ★ Thailand Import Growth Tops Estimates

In October 2025, Thailand experienced a 16.3% year-on-year increase in imports, showing a slight deceleration from the 17.2% growth observed in the previous month. Despite this moderation, it marked the 17th straight month of expansion. This significant rise surpassed market predictions of a 7.5% increase, highlighting robust domestic demand as the country approaches the end of the year. This growth is indicative of Bangkok’s strategies to stimulate consumption and mitigate the effects of U.S. tariffs.
