Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul expressed optimism on Monday that a potential ceasefire in West Asia could support Thailand's economy and help stabilise global markets amid mounting geopolitical tensions. Speaking at Government House, he said any resolution to the regional conflict would reduce international crises and bolster economic conditions across the region.

US President Donald Trump announced on Sunday that an agreement with Iran had been finalized, paving the way for the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz and the end of a US naval blockade. Anutin said such developments would create positive conditions for addressing multiple global challenges.

Thailand has demonstrated resilience in navigating disruptions to international supply chains, the Prime Minister noted, emphasizing that Bangkok relies on strategic long-term planning rather than reactive decision-making to tackle emerging challenges. He told reporters that the government remained well-positioned to manage external shocks and uncertainties.

Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister Ekniti Nitithanprapas reinforced this sentiment, stating that conflict resolution would present benefits for both the global economy and Thailand specifically. He highlighted that lower energy prices resulting from peace would reduce economic risks and potentially ease pressure on household finances and small business operations.

Ekniti signalled the government would maintain vigilance over inflation and cost pressures while expressing hope that an improved global environment could deliver stronger economic expansion than previously anticipated. Despite expectations of declining oil prices, Thailand plans to proceed with its 200-billion-baht energy transition initiative, recognizing the nation's substantial reliance on imported oil and natural gas reserves.
