Thailand's economy grows and government announces new anti-corruption and financial policies

Thailand's economy grew 2.4% in 2025, and the government is taking several new steps to shape its future. The Prime Minister has promised a tougher fight against corruption, and the Bank of Thailand is looking more closely at large cash transactions while also putting new rules in place for digital assets.

Separately, the country is tightening its laws on cannabis, which has led to the closure of over 7,000 marijuana shops. A former head of the World Trade Organization has also urged Thailand to adapt to changing global conditions.
