The World Bank published its East Asia and Pacific update on 6 October 2026. According to the World Bank's press release, the growth forecast for Thailand for 2026 was revised up by 0.7 percentage point, to 2.0 percent. The 0.7 percentage point upward revision implies a previous forecast of about 1.3 percent, though the press release does not state it.
For the wider region, the World Bank projects East Asia and Pacific to grow 4.5 percent in 2026. The press release does not give a 2027 figure for Thailand, and this item does not report one.
The forecast is the World Bank's own projection and is not a statement by the Thai government. The full East Asia and Pacific Economic Update, October 2026, is the place to read the detail behind the figures.
