Thailand's Economic Exit from Steroid Addiction

"Thailand's economy is continuously addicted to steroids, relying on measures. It is proposed to strengthen muscles by increasing purchasing power, upskilling labor, and extending working years by 5-10 years."

"Thailand is trapped in an economy addicted to steroids, focusing on short-term stimulus measures, injecting forcefully and quickly to make the economy seem to move forward, but it's not a sustainable solution."

"Monetary policy alone cannot solve the problem because even with low interest rates, if income and demographic structures continue to decline, banks cannot lend due to high risk."

"Allowing slow but sustainable economic growth is better than growing fast and creating a debt bubble."

"The Thai economy cannot rely on short-term stimulus measures, or steroids, forever because these measures help sustain but do not solve structural problems."

"Thailand needs to reduce its long-term reliance on economic steroids. However, while the economy is not fully recovered, the state still needs targeted support measures."

"The true engine of the Thai economy is not increased debt, but citizens with stable incomes, competitive businesses, and continuous investment."

"We see that even though Thai exports are very good, we are starting to have a trade deficit, which is something to watch in the long term."

"Thailand's economic buffer is gradually thinning out."

"There should be no more cash handout policies because the fiscal multiplier is quite limited."

"The state should focus on solving institutional quality issues, reducing corruption, and investing in essential infrastructure."

"Thailand's GDP grows about 2% on average, but Taiwan grows over 12%, Malaysia grows 6%, reflecting the growth of economies in neighboring countries that are growing rapidly."
