The Bank of Thailand has kept its benchmark interest rate unchanged for the fifth consecutive meeting.
Governor Sethaput Suthiwartnarueput stated that the central bank is prepared to adjust policies if economic conditions worsen.
Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra's administration is reviewing a $15 billion cash-handout program initiated by her predecessor.

The central bank aims to balance independence with accountability while working closely with the finance ministry.
