Prime Minister and Interior Minister Anutin Charnvirakul said several indicators of Thailand's economy are showing improvement, including rising export values and better import figures. The three major credit rating agencies, Moody's, S&P Global Ratings and Fitch Ratings, continue to rank Thailand among countries with stability and a positive outlook. The economy in the third quarter just past is trending better, but the National Economic and Social Development Council still needs to finalize all indicators within two to three weeks. Agricultural exports have increased, and gross domestic product is expected to rise. Next week, Thailand will host the annual meetings of the Boards of Governors of the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank Group in 2026, or IMF–World Bank 2026, which will bring together financial leaders from 191 countries, including national leaders, finance ministers, central bank governors and various investment institutions. The prime minister believes this meeting will benefit Thailand's economy and the economic outlook for the final quarter of 2026. As for additional stimulus measures in the final quarter to keep GDP on target, the government will base them on what the situation requires and is ready to act. In addition, Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister Ekniti Nitithanprapas will bring Sumrit Saniang, acting Chief Executive Officer of Thai Airways International Public Company Limited, or THAI, to meet the prime minister in the afternoon to introduce himself and discuss past problems, as the company is recovering and its operating results are improving. The government will listen to proposals and offer advice, but cannot directly order Thai Airways because it is independent. If it wants to give policy direction, it will act through the Finance Ministry as the largest shareholder. Later, at 2:30 p.m., Anutin chaired the third meeting this year of the national committee preparing to host the 2026 annual meetings of the Boards of Governors of the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund at Phakdi Bodin Building, Government House. He instructed Airports of Thailand Public Company Limited, or AOT, and airlines to prepare at full capacity to prevent a repeat of last week's problems with slow check-in systems, unclaimed baggage or flight cancellations. He also ordered preparations for a Fast Track channel for meeting participants and told relevant agencies to integrate their work on visas, immigration, security systems, public health and public relations to build confidence in Thailand.
