FX.co ★ Thailand Trade Surplus Widens in September

In September 2025, Thailand's trade surplus expanded significantly to USD 1.28 billion, compared to USD 0.39 billion in the same month of the previous year, and exceeded market predictions of USD 0.35 billion. This growth was driven by a noticeable increase in exports compared to imports. Exports jumped by 19% year-on-year, a significant acceleration from the 5.8% rise observed in August. This surge represents the most rapid growth since March 2022 and far exceeded market expectations of a 9% increase. Meanwhile, imports rose by 17.2% year-on-year, following a 15.8% increase in August, marking the swiftest pace since May and surpassing forecasts of a 10.6% rise.
