The Joint Standing Committee on Commerce, Industry and Banking raised its 2026 GDP forecast to 2.1-2.5% and exports to 12-16%, but says growth is uneven: domestic-oriented firms and older industries such as automotive, petroleum and construction materials face heavy competition from imported goods. Thai-owned SMEs in seven Reinvent Thailand sectors saw output fall about 8% on average over five years. The committee is asking government for targeted support and warns oil near $95 a barrel could push up production and goods costs, so review your input costs and pricing now. Diesel export curbs have also cut refinery output, which may affect fuel supply.
