AUD/THB forecasts have been primarily focused on the coronavirus impact on and response by both economies, in particular the drastic impact to tourism for Thailand.
Thailand has navigated Covid better than other Southeast Asian countries (Philippines, Indonesia, Malaysia) but the recent new wave could see many businesses struggle. Particularly the food industry.
Into the last quarter of 2022 the Thai baht remains weak at 18 year lows around the 37 level vs the US dollar.
At this level the Thai baht represents good value for visitors now that Thailand has eased border controls to benefit from a rebound in global travel.
Thailand announced 1 million tourists visited the country in July which shows the country is on track to returning to pre-Covid tourism levels.
The Aussie dollar rebounded from around US62¢ in October and November on the suggestion that the RBA would slow the pace of interest rate hikes.
Early in 2023 the Aussie is trading near US70¢, however economists are divided as to whether this change in fortunes for the Australian dollar will continue throughout the year.
