MACROFINANCIAL SETTING AND RISKS
1. Thailand's economy has been resilient to several shocks during the last decade. These
shocks included floods in 2011, supply shocks
in global commodity markets, and political instability
in 2013–14 leading to subdued economic activity. The resilience of the economy has been
supported by ample international reserves, a flexible exchange rate, and a prudent fiscal position.
The economy grew by 4.1 percent in 2018 and is projected to slow down to around 3.0 percent in
2019 and 2020. Core inflation remains subdued, and average headline inflation (which reached
1.1 percent in 2018) is projected to decline to just below the lower end of BoT's target band of
1.0–4.0 percent in 2019 (Table 2).
