FX.co ★ Thailand’s Current Account Surplus Narrows Sharply in March 2026

Thailand’s current account surplus narrowed significantly in March 2026, falling to 0.600 billion USD from 2.100 billion USD in February 2026. The latest figures, updated on 30 April 2026, indicate a notable cooling in the external balance after a stronger showing in the previous month.

The sharp moderation in the surplus suggests a relative weakening in net inflows from trade in goods and services or primary income compared with February. While the current account remains in positive territory, the smaller margin may signal softer export performance, firmer import demand, or changes in income and transfer flows over the period.

Analysts and market participants are likely to watch upcoming releases closely to determine whether March’s data reflects a temporary adjustment or the start of a more persistent trend toward a smaller external surplus for Thailand.
