泰国已批准2025年对淡季稻农的支持框架，以缓冲全球价格疲软的影响。该计划包括直接付款和贷款担保，为2025年淡季作物拨款72.8亿泰铢，预计将使约86.1万户农户受益。2025/2026主季作物将提供379亿泰铢。此外，政府还批准了2025/2026生产年度的水稻价格稳定计划，预算为616亿泰铢。泰国是仅次于中国和印度的世界顶级水稻生产国和出口国之一，在全球水稻种植面积排名第五。

Thailand has approved a support framework for off-season rice farmers in 2025 to cushion the impact of weak global prices. The plan includes direct payments and loan guarantees, with THB 7.28 billion allocated for the 2025 off-season crop, expected to benefit about 861,000 farming households. For the 2025/2026 main-season crop, THB 37.9 billion will be provided. Additionally, the government endorsed a paddy price stabilization program for the 2025/2026 production year with a budget of THB 61.6 billion. Thailand, one of the world’s top rice producers and exporters after China and India, ranks fifth globally in land area dedicated to rice cultivation.

泰国将启动一项为期18个月的试点计划，允许外国游客将加密货币兑换成泰铢进行当地支付，旨在提振其陷入困境的旅游业。财政部常务秘书Lavaron Sangsnit周一表示，为防止洗钱，转换上限定为55万泰铢，试用期后可能会进行调整。游客将使用泰国的加密货币交易所将资金转入在线钱包，在当地企业消费。财政部长Pichai Chunhavajira表示，“该项目将支持旅游业”，并可能鼓励游客增加消费。该倡议出台之际，泰国国家规划机构将其2025年的外国游客抵达预测下调了10%，至3300万人，远低于2019年3990万游客的峰值，该峰值创造了1.91万亿泰铢的收入。

Thailand will launch an 18-month pilot program allowing foreign tourists to convert cryptocurrency into baht for local payments, aiming to boost its struggling tourism sector. The conversion cap is set at THB 550,000 to prevent money laundering, with potential adjustments after the trial period, according to Finance Ministry permanent secretary Lavaron Sangsnit on Monday. Tourists will use Thai-based crypto exchanges to transfer funds into online wallets for spending at local businesses. Finance Minister Pichai Chunhavajira said, “This project will support tourism,” and may encourage higher tourist spending. The initiative comes as Thailand’s state-planning agency revised its 2025 foreign arrival forecast down 10% to 33 million, well below the 2019 peak of 39.9 million visitors that generated THB 1.91 trillion in revenue.

泰国2025年第二季度的失业率为0.91%，略高于上一季度的0.89%，为2024年第三季度以来的最高水平。农业部门仍雇佣了近三分之一的劳动力，一直受到不稳定天气条件的压力，而制造业的招聘在经历了几个疲软季度后显示出稳定的迹象。与此同时，旅游业和服务业的劳动力需求继续复苏，尽管速度比今年早些时候慢，这反映了全球需求疲软和家庭债务高企，对国内支出造成了压力。政府最近强调，创造就业机会和技能发展是其中期经济计划的关键优先事项，旨在提高生产力，支持更可持续的复苏。与此同时，就业增长仍然疲软，在第一季度下降0.5%后，仅微幅增长0.02%。

Thailand’s unemployment rate stood at 0.91% in Q2 2025, edging up from 0.89% in the previous quarter and marking the highest reading since Q3 2024. The agriculture sector, which still employs nearly one-third of the workforce, has been under pressure from erratic weather conditions, while manufacturing hiring showed signs of stabilizing after several weak quarters. Meanwhile, labor demand in tourism and services continued to recover, though at a slower pace than earlier in the year, reflecting soft global demand and high household debt that weighs on domestic spending. The government has recently highlighted job creation and skill development as key priorities under its medium-term economic plan, aiming to boost productivity and support a more sustainable recovery. Meanwhile, employment growth remained subdued, edging up only 0.02% after a 0.5% annual drop in Q1.

2025年第二季度，泰国国内生产总值同比增长2.8%，较第一季度上调的3.2%有所放缓，但超过了2.5%的市场预期。这是自2024年第二季度以来最慢的增长，主要是由于私人消费（2.1%对第一季度的2.5%）和政府支出（2.2%对3.4%）的增长放缓。相比之下，固定资产投资保持强劲，从上一季度的4.7%加速至5.8%。在对外方面，出口增长12.2%（第一季度为12.3%），超过了进口增长10.8%（第二季度为2.1%），对国内生产总值做出了积极贡献。强劲的出口表现部分归因于工厂在美国新征收关税之前加快了发货。在生产方面，非农业部门（2.5%对2.9%）和农业部门（6.0%对6.2%）的增长都有所放缓。2025年上半年，经济增长了3.0%。全年增长率预计在1.8%至2.3%之间，中点预测为2.0%，低于2024年的2.5%。

Thailand’s GDP grew by 2.8% year-on-year in Q2 of 2025, easing from an upwardly revised 3.2% expansion in Q1 but beating market expectations of 2.5%. This marked the slowest growth since Q2 2024, driven by softer increases in private consumption (2.1% vs 2.5% in Q1) and government spending (2.2% vs 3.4%). In contrast, fixed investment remained strong, accelerating to 5.8% from 4.7% in the previous quarter. On the external front, exports rose 12.2% (vs 12.3% in Q1), outpacing imports, which increased by 10.8% (vs 2.1%), contributing positively to GDP. The strong export performance was partly attributed to factories expediting shipments ahead of newly imposed US tariffs. On the production side, growth slowed in both the non-agricultural sector (2.5% vs 2.9%) and the agricultural sector (6.0% vs 6.2%). For the first half of 2025, the economy expanded by 3.0%. Full-year growth is projected to range between 1.8% and 2.3%, with a midpoint forecast of 2.0%, down from 2.5% in 2024.
