Thailand's fiscal trajectory has been influenced by economic shocks and recovery phases. The 1997 Asian Financial Crisis led to a steep deficit of -9.0% in 1999. Recovery efforts in the 2000s returned the balance to surpluses, peaking at 2.2% in 2005.
The pandemic widened the deficit to -6.7% in 2021, but recent improvements suggest a narrowing trend. By 2029, deficits are forecast to stabilize around -3.1%, reflecting ongoing fiscal adjustments and economic resilience.
