The University of the Thai Chamber of Commerce's Consumer Confidence Index climbed to 53.2 in August 2026 from July’s 51.8. It was the third consecutive month of increases and the highest reading since February, helped by the government's co-payment scheme, steady interest rates, and higher prices for key agricultural products, which boosted purchasing power. Thanavath Phonvichai, the university’s president, said planned energy-sector reforms could help sustain growth after the consumer subsidy scheme ends on Sept. 30. The expected passage of the 2027 budget would also lead to public spending supporting the economy after September, he added. Consumer concerns over the Middle East conflict eased, despite lingering concerns about political stability and living costs if oil prices started to rise. source: University of the Thai Chamber of Commerce
