Thailand's Consumer Price Index (CPI) showed signs of improvement in December 2025, easing the deflationary pressures that had marked the previous month. According to the latest data, the CPI decreased by 0.28% year-over-year, a slight improvement from the 0.49% decline recorded in November 2025. This data was last updated on January 7, 2026.

The figures indicate a gradual mitigation of the deflationary trend observed in the Thai economy towards the end of 2025. Despite a persistent decrease in consumer prices compared to the same period last year, the reduced rate of decline in December suggests potential stabilization.

Analysts will be closely watching the upcoming months to assess whether this improvement signals a broader recovery in consumer prices or if deflationary conditions might persist. Policymakers may need to consider these dynamics when planning economic strategies to ensure sustainable growth in 2026. The focus will remain on addressing any underlying factors contributing to these deflationary trends, aiming to stimulate the economic activity necessary to achieve positive inflation.
