Thailand’s customs-based trade deficit deepened in March 2026, with the balance slipping to -$3.34 billion, according to data updated on 24 April 2026. The shortfall widened from February 2026, when the deficit stood at -$2.83 billion.

The deterioration in the customs-based trade position suggests external trade conditions remained challenging for Thailand at the end of the first quarter. While detailed figures on exports and imports were not provided, the larger negative balance indicates that the value of imported goods continued to outpace that of exports in March, extending the pressure on the country’s trade account. Policymakers and market participants will be watching upcoming releases closely for signs of any stabilization or reversal in the trade trend.
