# Bangkok Post - Measures to curb hot money ahead

> The Bank of Thailand plans to implement measures to curb hot-money inflows after the baht rallied to a more than six-year high. Offshore fund inflows into Thai short-end bonds are under scrutiny, and the MPC voiced concern that baht appreciation is inconsistent with fundamentals. Thai May outbound shipments fell 5.8% year-on-year.

## Why it matters

A stronger baht erodes the competitiveness of Thai exports, including agricultural goods and rice, which weighs on Asian feed and grain export demand. The baht move is mainly a currency story with limited direct effect on feed commodity prices.
