The draft FY2570 budget (spending from 1 October 2026) is 3.788 trillion baht with a deficit of about 788 billion baht. Public debt is about 12.68 trillion baht, or 66.35% of GDP as of 31 March 2569 (2026). Government forecasts 2570 growth of 1.7-2.7%, inflation of 0.5-1.5%, and a current-account surplus of 1.6% of GDP. The article also cites energy-crisis borrowing of roughly 400 billion baht and heavy off-budget spending. For a Thai SME, this signals fiscal room for public spending but a debt load that limits future stimulus, and the growth and inflation ranges are useful planning inputs for next year's pricing and hiring.
