泰国商会大学的消费者信心指数从上个月的56.9上升到2024年12月的57.9。这标志着连续第三个改善期，也是自6月以来的最高读数，主要得益于政府的经济措施和旅游业的激增。旅游部数据显示，2024年，该国接待了3555万外国游客，同比增长26.27%，超过了2024年的入境目标。最新数据也与泰国国内生产总值的改善相一致，第三季度每年增长3%，是两年来最强劲的经济增长，这得益于政府支出的快速增长和固定投资的反弹。与此同时，由于燃料价格上涨，12月通货膨胀率升至1.23%，七个月来首次在央行1%-3%的目标范围内。

The University of the Thai Chamber of Commerce’s consumer confidence index increased to 57.9 in December 2024, up from 56.9 in the previous month. This marked the third consecutive period of improvement and the highest reading since June, mainly supported by government economic measures and a surge in tourism. In 2024, the country registered 35.55 million foreign tourist arrivals, surging 26.27% yoy, surpassing 2024 arrivals targets, tourism ministry data showed. The latest reading was also in line with the improvement in Thailand’s GDP, growing 3% annually in Q3, the strongest economic growth in two years, driven by faster rises in government spending and a rebound in fixed investment. Meanwhile, inflation rose to 1.23% in December, within the central bank’s 1%-3% target range for the first time in seven months, due to higher fuel prices.
