Thailand's political drama is making markets nervous.

Hello, this is the Marketplace Morning Report, and we're live from the BBC World Service.

I'm Leanna Byrne.

So there's political turmoil brewing in Thailand, and there's recently been major financial turbulence.

The Prime Minister, Petong Tang Shinawatra, has been suspended by the Constitutional Court.

The BBC's Shy McAulhail is tracking the fallout.

Hello. Hi. How is this political turmoil affecting investor confidence in Thailand?

Even before this controversy, and this is a big controversy that has really shaken trust in

Pei Tong-Tang-Sinawat's leadership, really she's had problems in trust in the Thai economy even before

that, because remember she was already struggling to revive a weak economy,

pey-tong-tang saw her approval ratings fall to 9.2% last week, and that was down from 30.9% in

March. You know, it's a huge tumble. And remember as well that her party,

the Puteu Tai party, has struggled to launch key economic policies since taking office,

these mega projects that we'd seen, for example, that helped boost the popularity of her father,

Taksin-Shinowat's government. That hasn't worked. All of this, I think, is sending jitters to investors,

and we've seen since January 2025 that overseas investors have persistently sold off Thai shares.

Could we actually see recession in Thailand because of all of this?

It's not beyond possibility at this moment because it's two tier. One is the fact that domestically,

this is a government that hasn't been able to shore up the economy. If you look at Thailand now,

it is positioned as one of the world's worst performing markets. Okay, the BBC's Shy McAllil,

thanks so much for joining us in Marketplace. Great to be with you. Let's do the numbers.
