BANGKOK: Thailand's central bank cut its key interest rate by a quarter point on Wednesday amid government calls for further easing to support the economy and weaken the baht to boost exports.
The Bank of Thailand's monetary policy committee voted 6-1 to reduce the one-day repurchase rate by 25 basis points to 2.00% at its first meeting of 2025. That followed a rate hold in December and a quarter-point cut in October.
