Minimal impact from Moody's revision foreseen

Quick Summary:

Moody's downgrade of Thailand's outlook from stable to negative is unlikely to affect the country's financial or capital markets, says the chief of the Public Debt Management Office (PDMO).

On the contrary, the government's auction of 50-year bonds on April 29, worth 7 billion baht, saw demand exceed supply by 2.18 times, equivalent to about 15 billion baht.

However, if GDP growth this year slows to 2%, the public debt-to-GDP ratio could reach 70%, the upper limit set for 2027.If growth slows to 1.5%, the ratio may slightly exceed 70%, though it would still remain manageable, he said.
