Thailand has introduced tighter reporting requirements for non-resident cash inflows, reinforcing its commitment to financial stability and transparent capital markets amid heightened global volatility.

The updated measures focus on improving the monitoring of short-term cross-border funds entering the country, ensuring regulators have clearer, timelier visibility of movements that could affect exchange rates, liquidity conditions, and asset prices.

Under the revised framework, financial institutions are required to provide more detailed and frequent disclosures on sizable inflows from non-resident sources, including the purpose and maturity profile of funds.

Authorities have emphasised that the policy is designed to be targeted and proportionate, supporting legitimate investment while reducing risks associated with speculative surges and sudden reversals.

The approach aligns with international best practices on prudential supervision and anti–money laundering safeguards.

Officials said the measures will help policymakers respond more effectively to external shocks, particularly as global interest rate expectations shift and capital flows become more sensitive to macroeconomic signals.

Thailand’s strong macroeconomic fundamentals, ample foreign exchange reserves, and resilient banking system provide a solid backdrop for the policy, which is intended to preserve orderly market conditions rather than restrict bona fide investment.

Market participants noted that clearer reporting standards can enhance confidence by reducing uncertainty and supporting data-driven policy decisions.

Authorities reiterated that Thailand remains open to foreign investment and committed to maintaining an attractive, rules-based financial environment, with the strengthened reporting regime serving as a tool to safeguard long-term stability and sustainable growth.
