The report by DBS Group Research, authored by Chua Han Teng, highlights that GDP growth is expected to slow to 1.6% in 2026, with inflation hovering in negative territory. The elections are anticipated to result in a multi-party coalition government, with cautious investor sentiment likely to persist until policy directions become clearer.
Elections impact on Thailand's economy
