Thai court greenlights government's $12bn emergency borrowing

Thailand's Constitutional Court ruled that the government's emergency decree to borrow 400 billion baht ($12 billion) is legal, allowing the funds to be used for economic support measures. The money is intended to cushion the impact of rising oil prices caused by the U.S.-Iran conflict, helping households manage increased energy costs. The decision enables the government to implement programs aimed at supporting families and advancing energy transition initiatives. This approval comes amid heightened geopolitical tensions in the Middle East affecting global energy markets.
