Transactions below $10 million account for around 92% of Thailand’s total export ‌value, the central bank said in a statement on Tuesday. The change will also cut cross-border transaction costs and improve flexibility, the central bank said. The eased rules will support exchange-rate stability, lower international transfer costs and give businesses more flexibility in managing ‌foreign currency ‍income and expenses, the Bank of Thailand said. The relaxation is part of several measures the central bank ​has implemented to slow excessive baht appreciation, which may be inconsistent with fundamentals, it added. As well, the ⁠central bank has also proposed capping ​daily gold transactions through online platforms at 20 million baht to 100 million baht.
