Thailand Growth Outlook Could Near 3% in 2026 Under Stable Government, Deloitte Says

Thailand growth outlook could approach 3% in 2026 if a stable government emerges after the next election and channels spending toward productivity-enhancing investment, according to Deloitte Thailand.

Under its base-case scenario, Deloitte forecasts growth of around 2% next year amid external headwinds, including elevated global trade tensions and renewed tariff risks.

Country managing partner Metinee Jongsaliswang said public investment and foreign direct investment remain the most effective policy levers, highlighting data centres and large-scale infrastructure such as roads and mass-transit systems as priorities.

Deloitte reiterated Thailand’s potential to develop as a regional data-centre hub, citing strong network connectivity, reliable power supply and water resources as key structural advantages.
