Thailand cuts key rate to near three-year low as growth sputters, more easing expected
BANGKOK, Aug 13 (Reuters) - Thailand's central bank lowered its policy rate to a near three-year low on Wednesday to boost a slowing economy grappling with U.S. tariffs, falling prices and weak foreign tourist arrivals, with further policy easing seen later this year. As widely expected, the monetary committee unanimously cut the one-day repurchase rate (THCBIR=ECI), opens new tab by 25 basis points to 1.50%, the lowest since late 2022. It was the fourth reduction in 10 months. The economy was expected to expand this year and next, close to earlier assessments of 2.3% and 1.7%, respectively, but U.S. trade policies would exacerbate structural problems and weaken competitiveness, with small businesses especially vulnerable, the Bank of Thailand said. "The committee views that monetary policy should be accommodative going forward to support the economy," it said. This year's growth forecast has some upside from a surge in exports, assistant governor Sakkapop Panyanukul told a press conference after Wednesday's decision. Exports, a key growth driver, grew 15% annually in first six months of 2025 as shippers raced to beat U.S. tariffs, but higher U.S. levies on most trading partners went into effect on August 7, with those on Thai imports set at 19%. The economy will slow in the second half, although there is little chance of a technical recession - or two consecutive quarterly contractions, Sakkapop added. The central bank is ready to ease further if the economy faces severe shocks, he said. "Weak economic growth remains the main reason for expecting more easing," said Gareth Leather, senior Asia economist at Capital Economics, said in a note, predicting a further 50 basis-point cuts by the end of the year. Southeast Asia's second-largest economy also has struggled with weak consumption and high household debt, with analysts expecting rate reductions at reviews in October and December. Wednesday's meeting was the last for Governor Sethaput Suthiwartnarueput. New Governor Vitai Ratanakorn, widely seen as dovish, will take over in October, and he has said rate cuts will support growth. "Led by the new BoT Governor, we expect the BoT to deepen its easing cycle further, cutting the policy rate to 1.00% by 1Q 2026," HSBC economist Aris Dacanay said in a note. Kobsidthi Silpachai, head of Capital Markets Research at Kasikornbank, expects a further cut in December. Sakkapop also said that the central bank will ensure that the baht currency moves in line with economic fundamentals. The baht reversed course to fall 0.1% after the announcement, while Thai stocks (.SETI), opens new tab extended gains after the decision. Finance Minister Pichai Chunhavajira said the rate cut will boost liquidity and help exporters by weakening the baht, which has firmed more than 6% against a softening U.S. dollar so far this year. In June, the BOT predicted 2025 economic growth of 2.3%, with export growth of 4%, after factoring in U.S. tariff rates of 18%. The economy expanded 2.5% last year, lagging peers. There are still uncertainties relating to U.S. tariffs on transshipments via Thailand from third countries. The United States was Thailand's biggest export market last year, accounting for 18.3% of total shipments, with a value of $55 billion. Consumer prices (THCPI=ECI), opens new tab in July fell 0.7% from a year earlier, down for a fourth consecutive month, and below the central bank's target range of 1% to 3% for the fifth consecutive month. Headline inflation was subdued because of supply-side factors but there are no signs of deflation yet, Sakkapop said. In June, the central bank predicted headline inflation of 0.5% this year, with the core rate seen at 1%. Adding to the challenges is renewed political turmoil that could bring down, opens new tab Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra, opens new tab or the coalition government led by her Pheu Thai party.

New Chinese restaurant opens in Aberdeen with hopes to 'attract lots of people' to Union Street
Fellow Aberdeen University graduates Lasco Lui and Jue Wang have opened a new 'truly authentic' Chinese restaurant in the Granite City. The new restaurant, Luna Chinese Bistro, near Soul bar, opened on July 21 on Union Street, in the unit previously occupied by Thai restaurant Kin Kao. The duo, who have lived in Aberdeen for three years, hope they can help to boost footfall on the city centre stretch. 'I think we can help Union Street attract a lot of people because of our unique food,' says Lasco, 35. 'We have tried different Chinese restaurants here, and a lot of the takeaways taste very different to what I eat in China. 'It's not Chinese food, it's British Chinese food, which is very different. 'I wanted to do truly authentic Chinese cuisine, and bring all the different tastes of dishes that you get in China. 'London and Edinburgh have very authentic Chinese restaurants, and the local people like them.' Lasco currently works in the kitchen in the restaurant at 345 Union Street, while Jue manages front of house. They have left the space relatively untouched, but have plans for some renovation works in the future. Although the restaurant has been relatively quiet so far, return customers are a sign that the team are doing something right. 'Not too many people know us yet,' adds Lasco. 'Although we've only been open a short time, we have already had people coming back.' Jue adds: 'That's very exciting.' The couple, who hail from north-east China, met at Aberdeen University while studying artificial intelligence. Opening Luna Chinese Bistro last month is the couple's first time running a restaurant together, although previously they ran food delivery business Asia Eats. This new step has been a rewarding change of pace for Lasco, 35, who worked as a programmer in China. 'It's a very different field,' he said. 'Before, I was just like a robot: typing, typing, typing all day. 'I just followed the boss, who gave me documents to read. It was very boring. 'But now, I'm happy every day. 'We're doing what we love: we cook and we study the recipes to know how to make the food better.' At Luna Chinese Bistro in Aberdeen, there is a wide range of authentic Chinese dishes to choose from, including dumplings, stir fry and more. Popular dishes since the restaurant opened include the black bean beef stir fry, and the sweet and sour pork chop. The menu also includes a 'local favourites' section with popular British Chinese dishes. A new tapas-style menu will be coming to the restaurant in Aberdeen in a few weeks, allowing diners to try several small plates at once.

Government take action on Sheffield Wednesday crisis as Owls fans plan 'funeral march'
Sheffield Wednesday fans will step up protests against owner Dejphon Chansiri this weekend while the government has responded to concerns over the club's future The government is fast-tracking the introduction of the independent football regulator (IFR) amid the continued crisis at Sheffield Wednesday. The Labour Party are said to be pushing through secondary legislation which will see the IFR in place by November. Wednesday are in a mess under the ownership of Thai tuna magnate Dejphon Chansiri, starting the season with only 16 registered first-team players after a raft of exits. Chansiri failed to pay players and staff on time in four of the last five months, though monies owed are now up to date while an embargo on the club has been lifted after outstanding transfer fees were also satisfied. The Owls are, however, unable to spend fees on players until the summer of 2027 and look set to face a certain points deduction in the Championship. Sheffield MP Clive Betts is a huge Wednesday fan and has urged the government to speed up the process of getting the IFR in place. The Athletic report Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy is now leading the push which could help Wednesday and other crisis clubs, such as Morecambe. Under a new bill, the IFR will have the power to strip unfit owners of their right to run clubs and could sanction takeovers at a price of their choice. 'The ongoing challenges at Morecambe, Sheffield Wednesday and many other clubs before them show exactly why the Football Governance Act was needed and why we acted to push the legislation forward in the face of opposition,' a spokesperson for the Department for Media, Culture and Sport said. 'The launch of the IFR is a priority. We recognise the need to move forward as quickly as possible whether that be implementing the required secondary legislation or appointing the regulator's board.' The Shrimps are on the brink of extinction having been suspended by the National League due to concerns over their financial stability while owner Jason Whittingham stalls on selling the club to Panjab Warriors. Owls fans took part in a protest against Chansiri in their Championship opener at Leicester on Saturday, leaving the away end empty for the first five minutes of the fixture. A plane also flew over the stadium urging him to sell up. The club's supporters trust has now confirmed further protests for their first home game of the season against Stoke after a crowdfunding page raised over £13,000 to fund such action. Fans will walk through Hillsborough Park on a 'funeral march' carrying a coffin to the stadium. Betts will be among the speakers at the protest with ex-Wednesday players also set to address fans. Supporters opting not to attend the match will continue to protest while the fixture is ongoing, while fans inside the ground have been urged to limit any disruption to the game to the first five minutes so it is not abandoned.
