BoT to Increase Transparency in Currency Operations

The Bank of Thailand (BoT) has announced plans to start publicly reporting its foreign-exchange intervention activities beginning in 2026.

The move aims to increase transparency and trust in Thailand’s monetary and exchange-rate management policies, aligning with international best practices followed by other Asian economies.

How Often Will the Data Be Released?

Starting next year, the BoT will publish its forex intervention reports twice a year, with a one-quarter lag to protect sensitive market information.

In addition, the central bank will also release monthly data on Thailand’s foreign reserves, giving investors and analysts a clearer picture of the country’s financial position.

Thailand’s decision reflects a broader regional trend. Other Asian countries — including Malaysia and South Korea — have already begun publishing data on foreign-exchange interventions to enhance global confidence and prevent currency manipulation concerns.

By adopting similar practices, Thailand joins its neighbors in promoting accountability and openness in financial governance.

BoT’s Clarification on Baht Management

The Bank of Thailand clarified that its exchange-rate policy is not aimed at competitive devaluation, but rather at maintaining market stability and avoiding excessive volatility in the Thai baht (THB).

The BoT emphasized that occasional interventions are necessary to smooth out sharp currency movements that could affect exporters, investors, and the broader economy.

Why It Matters

• Investor confidence: Transparency boosts market trust and attracts long-term investment.

• Policy credibility: Aligns Thailand with international standards set by IMF and G20 members.

• Economic impact: Stable exchange rates support trade, tourism, and foreign investment inflows.
