This is the first time in over four years that Thailand has lowered interest rates, and it is also a sudden change in stance by the central bank after more than a year, deciding to cooperate with the government's fiscal policy. Since former Thai Prime Minister Sita took office, the central bank has consistently refused the government's requests for interest rate cuts. After Patton Tan took office, he continued the previous government's agenda, repeatedly calling for the central bank to cut interest rates and demanding a reduction in borrowing costs. This is mainly due to Thailand's low inflation rate and strong Thai baht, and reducing borrowing costs can help stimulate the underperforming Thai economy. Analysis suggests that the sudden interest rate cut by the Bank of Thailand is facing certain political pressure. 01Nigeria oil tanker truck explosion kills over 140 people According to Agence France Presse,On October 15th, a tanker truck in Majia town, Taura region, Nigeria, overturned to avoid another vehicle losing control.
