Thailand's Inflation Eases to 1.95% in July as Fuel Prices Stabilize, Core Inflation Ticks Up
- ▸Thailand's headline consumer price index rose 1.95% year-on-year in July 2026, down from 2.42% in June, the Ministry of Commerce's Trade Policy and Strategy Office (TPSO) announced at an August 5 press briefing — the slowdown driven by domestic fuel prices that stabilized late in the month.
- ▸Core inflation, which excludes fresh food and energy, moved the opposite direction: it accelerated to 1.34% year-on-year in July from 1.23% in June, even as the headline rate cooled.
- ▸TPSO Director-General Nantapong Chiralerspong said stagflation risk is low and declining, and the ministry kept its full-year 2026 headline inflation forecast unchanged at 1.5%-2.5%, while flagging that August inflation is expected to stay firmly positive.
