Bank of Thailand

The Bank of Thailand (BOT) is the nation's central monetary authority, established first as the Thai National Banking Bureau in 1939 and operating under its current name since the Bank of Thailand Act was promulgated in 1942. Its primary mission is to ensure a stable and resilient economic and financial environment for sustainable growth in Thailand. The BOT's core responsibilities include implementing monetary policy, supervising financial institutions, managing the country's international reserves, printing and issuing banknotes, and acting as the banker and advisor to the Thai government.
