Thai central bank cuts key rate again, lowers growth forecasts as tariffs loom


BANGKOK: Thailand's central bank cut its key interest rate by a quarter point for a second consecutive meeting on Wednesday, in a move to support an underperforming economy facing uncertainty over steep U.S. tariffs.

The Bank of Thailand's monetary policy committee voted 5-2 to reduce the one-day repurchase rate by 25 basis points to 1.75%, the lowest level in two years. That followed a similar reduction at the previous meeting in February.
