# S&P affirms Thailand sovereign rating with stable outlook as tech boom offsets oil

> S&P Global Ratings affirmed Thailand's 'BBB+' foreign currency and 'A-' local currency sovereign ratings with a stable outlook. The agency projects average growth near 2.5% through 2029, with real GDP rising 2.3% in 2026 as a semiconductor and electronics export surge offsets higher fuel import costs.

## Why it matters

Higher crude import costs from Middle East tensions weigh on Thai energy-import demand and currency stability, while strong electronics exports support industrial activity. The feed-relevant impact is limited, with only a modest indirect effect on Thai livestock and feed demand through household and fuel-cost pressures.
