The Bank of Thailand is upbeat that the nation could be removed from the US Treasury's Monitoring List in the next review following improvement in the latest report.Speaking during a media briefing on Friday, Chayawadee Chai-anant, the central bank's assistant governor of corporate relationships, said the US Treasury will assess Thailand's economic data from July 2025 to June 2026 for the next review.
During this period, Thailand is not expected to meet the criteria for the list, enabling removal from the next report, projected for release between late 2026 and early 2027.
"If Thailand does not meet any of the criteria in the next assessment, it is expected to be removed from the Monitoring List," she said.
