ding Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 Is Thailand doing Quantitative Easing like the US and just printing money to fund things during the pandemic crisis? I can't find much info and would love links, if any. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ding Posted May 28, 2021 Author Share Posted May 28, 2021 I found an article in the Bangkok Post that essentially said; With the strength of Thailand's international reserve they could print money but the costs may be a currency run or hyper inflation. from "New surge, a blow to weak economy" article, Bangkok Post But hyper inflation and bank runs are the definition of a failed currency and failed economy, so not acceptable. Anyway, from this it seems there's no "money printing" or currency creation to fund the economy of Thailand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would all depend on how much they print wouldn't it? If it's done in a controlled and measured way then the effects would be limited and perhaps even desirable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't find out if Thailand is creating currency or not, and if so - how much. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
