The growth rate of household debt in Thailand has slowed down in the first quarter of this year. The main cause of this slowdown is the stricter loan lending criteria set by financial firms. According to an announcement from the National Economic and Social Development Council (NESDC), household debt reached 16.3 trillion baht. This signifies a growth increase of 2.5%, a drop from the 3% growth seen in the previous quarter. The debt level is equivalent to 90.8% of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP), a decrease from the earlier 91.4%.
