Deputy Prime Minister and Commerce Minister Suphajee Suthumpun revealed that the government is preparing additional economic stimulus measures as a joint package of the economic ministries under the government's overall framework, to support economic figures in the final quarter of 2026. She said the measures are currently being drafted and discussed, but details cannot yet be disclosed because they must first be submitted to the Cabinet meeting. In addition to extending the Thai Chuay Thai Plus program, the government will introduce further measures. Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister Ekniti Nitithanprapas has already said that the Thai Chuay Thai Plus program will be extended by another two months, through November 2026. Therefore, the economic stimulus measures must be considered in a way that covers the operations of every ministry. As for handling trade and domestic goods prices, which may be affected by the US Federal Reserve raising interest rates by 0.25%, Suphajee said the Commerce Ministry is already monitoring goods prices continuously, while matters concerning interest rates must be directed to Ekniti.
Article states the US Federal Reserve raised interest rates by 0.25%, lifting the effective federal funds rate.
Fed's 0.25% rate hike implies higher short-term rates and upward pressure on US Treasury yields, including the 10Y.
