泰国商会大学的消费者信心指数从上月的62.1降至2024年5月的60.5。这标志着消费者士气连续第三个月下降，也是自2023年10月以来的最低水平，原因是对经济复苏缓慢和政治不稳定的担忧。

The University of the Thai Chamber of Commerce’s consumer confidence index dropped to 60.5 in May 2024 from 62.1 in the previous month. This marked the third consecutive month of declining consumer morale and the lowest since October 2023, driven by concerns over a slow economic recovery and political instability.

正如人们普遍预期的那样，泰国央行在2024年6月将其关键利率维持在2.5%，尽管政府一再呼吁降息以帮助振兴该国经济，但该行连续第四次延长了暂停会议的时间。大多数委员会成员认为，政策利率与增长和通胀前景的改善保持一致，同时促进了宏观金融的长期稳定。泰国经济预计在2024年和2025年分别增长2.6%和3%。今年的增长是由第一季度强于预期的国内需求、旅游业的持续复苏以及第二季度政府支出的加速推动的。与此同时，2024年和2025年的通货膨胀率分别为0.6%和1.3%。随着国内柴油价格补贴和某些原食品供应过剩的影响逐渐消除，泰国5月份消费者价格同比上涨1.54%，回到央行1-3%的目标区间。

The Bank of Thailand maintained its key interest rate at 2.5% in June 2024, as widely expected, extending its pause for the fourth straight meeting despite repeated calls by the government to cut rates to help revive the country’s economy. Most committee members deem that the policy rate remains consistent with the improving growth and inflation outlook while fostering macro-financial stability in the longer term. The Thai economy is projected to expand by 2.6% in 2024 and 3% in 2025. This year’s growth is driven by stronger-than-expected domestic demand in the first quarter, continued recovery in tourism, and acceleration in government disbursement during the second quarter. Meanwhile, inflation is seen at 0.6% in 2024 and 1.3% in 2025. Consumer prices in Thailand rose by 1.54% year-on-year in May, returning to the central bank’s target range of 1-3%, as the effects from the domestic diesel price subsidy and excess supply of certain raw food items are gradually phased out.

2024年5月，泰国的年通货膨胀率从上月的0.19%跃升至1.54%，高于市场预测的1.19%。最新数据仍在央行1%至3%的目标范围内，但为2023年4月以来的最高水平。与此同时，核心通胀率在过去连续两个时期稳定在两年多来的低点0.37%后，上升至0.39%。

The annual inflation rate in Thailand jumped to 1.54% in May 2024, up from 0.19% in the previous month and coming more than market forecasts of 1.19%.

Meanwhile, the core inflation rate increased to 0.39%, after steadying at an over two-year low of 0.37% in the past two straight periods.
