Monetary Authority of Thailand

The Monetary Authority of Thailand (MAT) is the central organization responsible for overseeing and regulating Thailand's financial system, including monetary policy, banking institutions, and payment systems. Its primary goal is to ensure financial stability, support economic growth, and maintain the integrity of the financial sector. Unlike traditional central banks that focus mainly on currency and inflation, MAT also regulates non-bank financial institutions and manages the national payment systems, serving as a key guardian of Thailand’s financial infrastructure and stability.
