FX.co ★ Thailand Swings to Trade Surplus in February After January Deficit

Thailand’s trade balance returned to surplus in February 2026, reversing the deficit recorded at the start of the year, according to data updated on 31 March 2026.

After posting a trade deficit of -0.70 billion in January 2026, Thailand’s trade account recovered to a surplus of 0.60 billion in February 2026. The shift from negative to positive territory signals a marked month-on-month improvement in the country’s external balance and suggests a rebound in trade flows following the weaker start to the year.

The February surplus may influence expectations for Thailand’s broader economic performance and external position in early 2026, with markets likely to watch upcoming data releases to see whether this positive trade momentum can be sustained in the months ahead.
