Thailand Business News — Morning Briefing
Today's briefing prioritises Thai economic restructuring, regional infrastructure investment, Chinese currency policy, US–China trade relations and Japanese monetary policy.
Thailand's central bank, the Bank of Thailand, is planning to introduce regulations for a baht-pegged stablecoin in March 2027. This follows a suspension of new money changer licence applications throughout 2027. The stablecoin framework remains under public consultation until 17 November 2026, allowing limited issuance by approximately two entities.
Issuers and digital-wallet providers will have distinct licensing procedures, including customer identification, transaction monitoring and auditable records. The proposed stablecoin aims to complement existing payment systems like PromptPay, supporting digital financial infrastructure, tokenised assets and cross-border transactions.
