Reuters Guarantees! Thailand's Economy Endures Global Shocks Better than the 1997 Tom Yum Goong Crisis, “Ekniti” Promotes IMF Stage to Position Thailand as the “Global Investment Hub.” Reuters indicates that Thailand's economy is stronger than during the 1997 crisis, effectively handling global pressures. “Ekniti” is preparing to highlight Thailand as a “Trusted Connector” on the IMF-World Bank stage to attract global investment to future industries today (October 11, 2026). Ms. Lalida Pereviwatana, Deputy Spokesperson of the Prime Minister's Office, revealed that Reuters News Agency.
(Reuters) published a report on October 9, 2026, titled “Nearly 30 years after IMF rescue, Thailand faces new economic test.” This reflects that while Thailand's economy still faces pressure from the global economy, it has the ability to cope with challenges and demonstrates stability compared to the 1997 financial crisis. Meanwhile, Mr. Ekniti Nitithanprapas, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Finance,
is preparing to use the IMF-World Bank Annual Meetings 2026, hosted by Thailand from October 12 to 18, to emphasize Thailand's role as a “Trusted Connector” in economic relations to attract investment from around the world into future industries. Ms. Lalida stated that the report from Reuters cited an assessment by Fitch Ratings in September, indicating that Thailand's economy better coped with the impacts of global energy prices than expected.
Pressures from deflation have decreased, and the policy direction has become clearer, resulting in Fitch adjusting Thailand's credit outlook from “negative” to “stable.” At the same time, Reuters also reported an interview with Mr. Ekniti, emphasizing the importance of driving the economy through investment, particularly in the semiconductor industry, data centers, advanced manufacturing, and electric vehicles, alongside the development of renewable energy, power networks, and human resources to support high-tech industries.
Ms. Lalida further stated that amidst geopolitical conflicts and trade tensions, Thailand is preparing to present its potential as a neutral and safe investment destination, while promoting the role of “Trusted Connector” to connect economic, trade, and investment cooperation internationally by leveraging its strengths in location, manufacturing bases, and connectivity with regional economies. Additionally, the Reuters report noted the challenges facing Thailand's economy,
including slowing growth, household debt burdens, and the necessity for structural economic reform. The government is preparing to leverage the opportunity of hosting the IMF-World Bank meetings to communicate Thailand's economic direction, build confidence among global investors, and promote investments in new industries to enhance competitiveness and create sustainable economic growth. #ThaiEconomy #Reuters #Ekniti #MinistryofFinance #IMF2026 #WorldBank #TrustedConnector
