Nomura Sees Thailand's Central Bank Cutting Rates by 25bps in December 2025 and Q1 2026 to Reach 1.00% Terminal Rate

BY MT Newswires | ECONOMIC | 10/09/25 12:30 PM EDT

12:30 PM EDT, 10/09/2025 (MT Newswires) -- The Bank of Thailand (BoT) left its policy rate unchanged at 1.5% this week, against Nomura and consensus forecasts of a 25bps cut, citing the importance of timing.

The bank believes the BoT left the door open to more easing by citing that it "stands ready to adjust" the policy rate, as it lowered its gross domestic product growth and inflation forecasts.

Nomura maintains its terminal policy rate forecast of 1.00%, pencilling in a 25bps cut at the next policy meeting in December 2025 and another in Q1 2026.

All Fixed Income News

In general the bond market is volatile, and fixed income securities carry interest rate risk. (As interest rates rise, bond prices usually fall, and vice versa. This effect is usually more pronounced for longer-term securities.) Fixed income securities also carry inflation risk and credit and default risks for both issuers and counterparties. Unlike individual bonds, most bond funds do not have a maturity date, so avoiding losses caused by price volatility by holding them until maturity is not possible.

Lower-quality debt securities generally offer higher yields, but also involve greater risk of default or price changes due to potential changes in the credit quality of the issuer. Any fixed income security sold or redeemed prior to maturity may be subject to loss.
