Gross savings as % of GDP NY.GNS.ICTR.ZS

Overview
Thailand's gross savings stood at 19.37% in 2025, a decline of +4.41% from 2024. The IMF projects 19.37% by 2025. Thailand ranked 98th globally.
Thailand’s gross savings rate has slipped to 19.37 percent in 2025, placing it 98th in the world and representing the lowest level recorded over the 51‑year series that begins in 1975 with a rate of 20.56 percent. The indicator reached its all‑time high of 35.94 percent in 1993, a period of robust capital formation that coincided with rapid industrial expansion, before entering a prolonged decline that accelerated after the Asian financial crisis and persisted through recent pandemic‑related fiscal pressures. The 2025 trough is marginally above the rates of peers such as Armenia (19.28 percent) and Serbia (19.55 percent), suggesting that Thailand now shares a savings profile with several lower‑middle‑income economies rather than its historically higher‑saving Asian counterparts. Continued reliance on external financing and modest domestic investment returns are likely to keep the savings ratio subdued, unless structural reforms that boost household income and corporate profitability succeed in reversing the downward trajectory.
