BANGKOK -- The Thai central bank cut its key interest rate by a quarter point to 2.25% on Wednesday, its first rate cut since May 2020, as it aimed to ease borrowers' debt-servicing costs.
The decision took the market by surprise. According to a Reuters poll, 24 out of 28 economists expected the Bank of Thailand to stand pat.
