Nene Royal, a 16-year-old from Phuket, has taken her stage performance to new heights, securing a spot in the 'Golden Buzzer' round and a direct entry to the America Got Talent 2026 finals. In today's Monetary Policy Committee meeting, the Bank of Thailand decided to keep the benchmark interest rate unchanged at 1.0%, as the economy is projected to grow at 2.5% in 2026.
Headline inflation for the year is expected to average 1.8%, within the bank's target range. The MPC also raised its GDP growth forecasts for 2026-2027 from 2.3% to 2.5%, attributing this to fiscal stimulus measures. Private investment will be the main driver of growth, with the "Thai Chuey Thai Plus 60/40" scheme playing a key role.
Meanwhile, the Thai Travel Plus project, which aims to expand participant eligibility from 500,000 to 1 million at no cost, is set to begin registration on October 1, with the government likely to finalize trade talks with the US by September 1.
