New Bank Rules Require Reporting of Large Foreign Fund Inflows

Thailand’s central bank has instructed financial institutions to report significant capital inflows from non-residents over a set threshold. This measure aims to improve oversight of foreign currency movements and better understand their impact on the baht’s strength. Banks will need to collect and submit documentation for qualifying transactions to bolster transparency. Officials say this is part of broader efforts to stabilise currency markets without directly fixing exchange rates. The rule will take effect soon and is attracting attention from investors and international businesses.
