U.S. Treasury Maintains Thailand on Currency Monitoring List Amid Global Trade Analysis
The U.S. Department of the Treasury has released its semi-annual currency report, which found that no major U.S. trading partner manipulated its currency for an unfair trade advantage in 2025. However, ten leading trading partners, including Thailand, remain on a list for enhanced monitoring of their foreign exchange practices. The report, conducted under the Omnibus Trade and Competitiveness Act of 1988, evaluates countries based on criteria such as significant bilateral trade surpluses with the U.S., material current account surpluses, and persistent, one-sided intervention in foreign exchange markets. Thailand, along with Singapore and Switzerland, met only one of these criteria and may be removed from the list if they meet fewer than two in the next report.
