泰国商会大学的消费者信心指数从7月份的51.7降至2025年8月的50.1。由于对经济复苏缓慢、政治不稳定和美国关税的担忧，这标志着连续第七个月下降，也是自2022年12月以来的最低水平。泰国国家规划机构预计，今年泰国经济将增长1.8%-2.3%，而2024年的增长率为2.5%。与此同时，美国已将从泰国进口商品的关税从36%降至19%，尽管对从第三国经泰国转运的商品的关税仍存在不确定性。大学校长Thanavath Phonvichai表示，在泰国新政府的领导下，市场情绪可能会改善，并补充说，政府取得杰出和切实成果的能力对于扭转信心下降至关重要。

The University of the Thai Chamber of Commerce’s consumer confidence index dropped to 50.1 in August 2025 from 51.7 in July. This marked the seventh straight month of decline and the lowest level since December 2022, amid concerns over a slow economic recovery, political instability, and US tariffs. Thailand’s state planning agency projects the country’s economy to expand by 1.8%-2.3% this year, compared to the 2.5% growth in 2024. Meanwhile, the US has lowered its tariff on imported goods from Thailand to 19% from 36%, though uncertainties remain over tariffs on transshipments through Thailand from third countries. University President Thanavath Phonvichai said that sentiment could improve under Thailand's new government, adding that the administration’s ability to deliver outstanding and tangible results would be crucial to reversing the decline in confidence.

2025年8月，泰国消费者价格同比下降0.79%，降幅比市场预期的0.70%更大，与7月份的降幅持平。这标志着连续第五个月出现通货紧缩，远低于央行1%-3%的目标区间。大多数类别的成本继续下降，包括交通（-2.73%比7月份的-3.87%）、服装和鞋类（-1.07%比-1.08%）以及住房（-0.23%比-0.23%）。医疗保健（-0.93%对-1.08%）和烟草和酒精饮料（-0.09%对-0.04%）的通货紧缩也持续存在。与此同时，食品和非酒精饮料价格小幅下跌0.08%，扭转了7月份0.84%的涨幅。相比之下，娱乐和文化在一个月前增长0.47%后，又增长了0.48%。与此同时，核心消费者价格指数上涨0.81%，高于0.75%的预期，但略低于7月份0.84%的涨幅。按月计算，消费者价格指数下降了0.01%，而前一时期下降了0.27%。

Consumer prices in Thailand fell by 0.79% year-on-year in August 2025, a sharper drop than market expectations of a 0.70% decline and matching July’s pace. This marked the fifth consecutive month of deflation, and well below the central bank’s 1%–3% target range. Costs continued to decline across most categories, including transportation (-2.73% vs -3.87% in July), clothing and footwear (-1.07% vs -1.08%), and housing (-0.23% vs -0.23%). Deflation also persisted in healthcare (-0.93% vs -1.08%) and tobacco and alcoholic beverages (-0.09% vs -0.04%). At the same time, food and non-alcoholic beverage prices edged down 0.08%, reversing from a 0.84% increase in July. In contrast, recreation and culture went up 0.48% after a 0.47% increase a month earlier. Meanwhile, core consumer prices rose 0.81%, above forecasts of 0.75% but slightly easing from July’s 0.84% gain. On a monthly basis, consumer prices dipped 0.01%, compared to a 0.27% fall in the previous period.

泰国众议院议长Wan Muhamad Noor Matha表示，泰国众议院将于周五投票选举新总理。此前，据报道，枢密院以看守总理Phumtham Wechayachai提出的程序和法律问题为由，拒绝了解散众议院的皇家法令草案。枢密院是君主制的正式咨询机构，在审查王室文件和确保宪法合规方面发挥着关键作用。即将举行的投票可能为Bhumjaitai领导人Anutin Charnvirakul组建由143名成员组成的人民党支持的政府铺平道路，人民党是议会中最大的政党。然而，这种支持是有严格条件的：新首相必须在提交政策声明后四个月内解散众议院，从而引发大选，并可能就宪法修正案举行公投。

Thailand’s House of Representatives will vote for a new prime minister on Friday, according to House Speaker Wan Muhamad Noor Matha. The announcement follows the Privy Council’s reported rejection of a draft royal decree to dissolve the House, citing procedural and legal concerns raised by caretaker PM Phumtham Wechayachai. The Privy Council, a formal advisory body to the monarchy, plays a key role in vetting royal documents and ensuring constitutional compliance. The upcoming vote could pave the way for Anutin Charnvirakul, leader of Bhumjaithai, to form a government backed by the 143-member People’s Party—the largest in parliament. However, this support comes with strict conditions: the new prime minister must dissolve the House within four months of presenting their policy statement, triggering a general election and potentially a referendum on constitutional amendments.

泰国外贸部的Arada Fuangtong表示，根据与美国谈判的新贸易规则，泰国将于10月成立一个由50名成员组成的工作组，以管理原产地证书的激增。此举正值华盛顿加强对转运行为的审查之际，针对泰国和越南等东南亚国家，据称这些国家在没有附加值的情况下重新安排了中国货物的运输路线。尽管美国将泰国进口商品的拟议关税从36%降至19%，但一项全球行政命令警告称，涉嫌隐瞒原产地的商品可能面临高达40%的关税。特朗普政府尚未定义“转运”，关于地区价值内容规则的谈判仍在继续。目前，仅标记商品需要证书，但新框架预计将适用于所有运往美国的出口，扩大对原产地、成本和当地含量的检查。

Thailand will launch a 50-member task force in October to manage a surge in certificates of origin, expected under new trade rules being negotiated with the U.S., according to Arada Fuangtong of the Department of Foreign Trade. The move comes as Washington intensifies scrutiny of transshipment practices, targeting Southeast Asian nations like Thailand and Vietnam for allegedly rerouting Chinese goods without added value. While the U.S. lowered its proposed tariff on Thai imports from 36% to 19%, a global executive order warns that goods suspected of concealing origin could face duties of up to 40%. The Trump administration has yet to define “transshipment,” and talks continue over regional value content rules. Currently, certificates are required only for flagged goods, but the new framework is expected to apply to all U.S.-bound exports, expanding checks on origin, cost, and local content.
