FX.co ★ Thailand’s GDP Growth Accelerates to 2.5% in Q4 2025, Doubling Previous Quarter’s Pace

Thailand’s economy showed a solid pickup at the end of 2025, with year-over-year GDP growth accelerating to 2.5% in the fourth quarter, up from 1.2% in the third quarter of 2025. The latest figures, updated on 16 February 2026, indicate that the country’s growth momentum strengthened as the year closed.

Both the current and previous readings are measured on a year-over-year basis, comparing each quarter’s performance to the same period a year earlier. While the third quarter of 2025 marked a relatively subdued pace at 1.2% growth, the improvement to 2.5% in the fourth quarter suggests a notable recovery in overall economic activity.

The acceleration in GDP growth at the end of 2025 will be closely watched by investors and policymakers as they assess whether this stronger performance can be sustained into 2026, and what it may signal about domestic demand, external trade conditions, and the broader outlook for Thailand’s economy.
