Thailand's Q2 2026 economy slowed due to Middle East conflicts, reducing tourism and raising energy costs, though technology exports grew 7.4% and imports surged 21.5% (mainly crude oil stockpiling). Private consumption fell from rising cost of living, but government stimulus programmes and a global electronics recovery cycle provided partial support. Q3 growth expected to remain uneven, concentrated in tech exports, while tourism recovery remains uncertain and household living costs and business expenses continue pressuring discretionary spending.
