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.
