With the Bhumjaithai Party winning the election and leading the formation of the new government, existing economic policies are expected to continue in the initial phase, supporting Thai economic growth and helping to attract both foreign capital inflows and FDI, he said. This year UOB Thailand forecasts GDP growth of 1.8%, below the country's potential growth rate of 2.7%. Assuming smooth administration and effective policy execution, economic growth could exceed this baseline, noted the bank. UOB Thailand said its baseline forecast reflects a combination of sectoral strengths and structural challenges. UOB Thailand expects the Monetary Policy Committee to cut the policy rate once this year, reducing the benchmark rate to 1.0%.
