Thailand's core Consumer Price Index (CPI) experienced a noticeable deceleration in September 2025, settling at 0.65%, according to data updated on October 6. This marks a significant decline from the 0.81% recorded in August, indicating a reduced rate of inflation when viewed on a Year-over-Year basis.
The new figure reflects a shift in the Thai economy's inflationary dynamics, as it compares September's performance to the same month last year. In contrast, the August comparison showed a higher inflation rate than the same period in the previous year. This suggests that the current year-over-year economic environment has contributed to a reduction in inflationary pressure on core goods and services.
Economic analysts are closely monitoring these changes as they evaluate the implications for monetary policy in Thailand. With inflation tendencies showing signs of easing, policymakers may consider adjusting their strategies to ensure economic stability and support growth, amid a backdrop of global uncertainty and domestic economic challenges.
