Thailand’s Joint Standing Committee on Commerce, Industry and Banking (JSCCIB) has revised its economic forecasts upwards for 2026, anticipating stronger growth than previously projected. Despite challenges including flooding, increasing oil prices, and rising borrowing costs, the JSCCIB now estimates a GDP growth of 2.1–2.5% for 2026. This represents an increase from earlier projections made in June–August. The committee cited positive factors contributing to the improved outlook, though specifics weren’t detailed in the initial report. These revisions suggest a more optimistic view of Thailand's economic trajectory. The forecasts were released in a September–October statement from the JSCCIB, a key private-sector body in Thailand.
