Domestic Risks 
• 
Background 3. Entrenched low inflation. 
Inflationary pressures have been subdued and 
inflation expectations are showing signs of
de-anchoring from the BoT’s target range. There is 
a risk of domestic low interest rate environment 
becoming entrenched. 
 
Medium 
High 
• 
Entrenched low inflation would worsen the 
macroeconomic environment, increasing real interest 
rates and the real debt burden, and posing risks to 
corporates, household, and financial sector balance 
sheets. Search for yield could result in excessive risk 
taking by investors, leading to accumulation of 
vulnerabilities in the financial sector. 
• 
Background 4. Debt overhang. Household 
indebtedness remains elevated, after having 
increased rapidly in the early 2010s. 
 
Medium 
Medium 
• 
Highly leveraged households may hold back 
spending or banks may tighten credit supply, which 
would dampen consumption. Furthermore, if these 
households do not have sufficient buffers to cope 
with shocks (e.g., a decline in house prices or an 
increase in unemployment), their debt-service 
capacity would be constrained, possibly leading to 
bank losses and a contraction in credit.

The RAM shows events that could materially alter the baseline path (the scenario most likely to materialize in the view of IMF staff). The relative 
likelihood is the staff’s subjective assessment of the risks surrounding the baseline (“low” is meant to indicate a probability below 10 percent, 
“medium” a probability between 10 and 30 percent, and “high” a probability between 30 and 50 percent). The RAM reflects staff views on the source 
of risks and overall level of concern as of the time of discussions with the authorities. Non-mutually exclusive risks may interact and materialize 
jointly.
