Bank of Thailand Sees No Need for Emergency Meeting on Baht Weakness

The Bank of Thailand has pushed back against calls for an emergency Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) meeting, according to BNY. The central bank views the baht's recent depreciation as modest in the context of the U.S.–Iran tensions.

Officials cite strong external buffers as a key defense, noting that foreign selling has been limited. Signs of inflows returning to long-term bonds further support the bank's stance that no extraordinary measures are warranted at this stage.
