IMF forecasts Thailand GDP growth of 2.1% in 2026 and 2.1% in 2027. World Bank forecasts 2.0% and 2.3%. Vietnam is expected at 7-8%+ over the same period, the fastest in ASEAN. Brunei's IMF forecast falls from 1.9% to 1.3%; World Bank does not publish one. For a Thai SME this is background: low domestic growth means demand stays soft, so keep prices, stock and hiring plans conservative. Vietnam's growth is a signal for export and regional-sourcing opportunities rather than a direct change in your costs.
