-- タイ内閣は、中東紛争に関連した生活費高騰を緩和するため、政府が最大4000億バーツを借り入れることを認める緊急政令を承認したと、日経アジアレビューが水曜日に報じた。 同報道によると、この措置は来週、憲法の迅速審議規定に基づき議会で審議される予定で、政府はスタグフレーションのリスクを正当化の根拠として挙げている。 資金の半分は低・中所得世帯、農家、社会的弱者への補助金に充てられ、残りは再生可能エネルギーの普及や電気自動車の支援といった長期的な改革に充当される。財務省主導の委員会が資金の配分を監督すると日経は報じた。 この決定は、イランとの緊張関係に関連したエネルギー供給の混乱を受けてのもので、中東からの輸入に大きく依存しているタイでは、燃料費と輸送費が高騰している。当局は2026年の成長率予測を1.6%に下方修正したが、民間の予測はさらに低く、スタグフレーションのリスクを警告している。公的債務は現在GDPの約66%に達し、1990年代後半以来の高水準となっている。 (マーケットチャッターのニュースは、世界中の市場専門家との会話から得られた情報に基づいています。この情報は信頼できる情報源に基づいていると考えられますが、噂や憶測が含まれる可能性があります。正確性は保証されません。)
