Thailand's Q2 GDP grew 1.9%, with inflation up to 2.7% (from -0.5% in Q1) due to higher energy and transport costs from the Middle East war. Private consumption slowed to 1.9% from 3.3%. Private investment rose 13.4%, helped by BOI's Thailand Fast Pass. Deputy PM Ekniti says phase 2 of the Thai Chuay Thai Plus stimulus will be decided in Q4, after phase 1 ends in Q3. For an SME, plan for higher input and freight costs and softer domestic demand; phase 2 of the stimulus is not yet confirmed, so don't budget for it.
