AUD/THB Exchange Rate Gains on Strong VAT Efficiency, Policy Stability
The Australian Dollar versus Thai Baht (AUD/THB) exchange rate has seen a modest daily gain, trading at ฿23.49.
This comes as Thailand's Value-Added Tax (VAT) revenue as a share of GDP matches that of the Philippines, despite operating with a lower 7% rate.
The World Bank suggests that Thailand can enhance tax collection without raising rates, improving fiscal capacity and policy stability in the process.
As a result, the Thai baht has seen increased sentiment, potentially influencing flows in the AUD/THB cross.
