The World Bank's October 2026 update lifts Thailand's 2026 GDP growth forecast to 2.0%, helped by exports and AI-related investment and government energy-relief measures. It forecasts 2.3% for 2027 and 2.4% for 2028, but East Asia-Pacific is expected to grow 4.5%. Only 12% of Thai firms say they use AI and 4% pay for AI software, so demand is likely to stay modest for most SMEs. Keep current plans; the main shift is for businesses tied to AI-related export supply chains.
