Deputy finance minister adviser Santitarn Sathirathai said Q2 GDP growth of 1.9% was expected by the ministry. Consumer price inflation is at 2-3% and more pass-through to goods prices is expected. Household spending is slowing, and tourism is weak after flight cancellations in Q2. He named SMEs as facing lower revenue, higher costs and hard-to-get credit. Government support is "Thai Chuay Thai Plus" (cushioning costs), with energy-cost relief for households and businesses in H2. He expects tourism to stabilise in Q3, with some help in Q4 from the IMF-World Bank meeting hosted by Thailand, and recovery to be gradual. Plan for weak demand and higher input costs through the rest of the year, and check eligibility for the support schemes.
