Ms Jindarat said the government's public debt position remains stable. Interest rate risk is low because 87.3% of total public debt carries fixed interest rates. Under the International Monetary Fund's definition of public debt, which excludes the liabilities of state-owned enterprises, Thailand's public debt is only 56% of GDP. As of December 2025, Thailand's public debt tallied 66.1% of GDP.
